Guitar
This speed Demon single is only missing a pickup and pots and an output jack. These are completely hollow guitars so it wouldn't be too hard to work on if you have some dexterity and patience. I rewound two pickups and remounted them myself in a similar speed demon TRIPLE - and that one had 6 control pots and 3 pickups - cripes now that was a pain in the a**. This one is a much more simple project.
If I had this guitar neck and body I would personally find a decent (old or new) single P90 pickup with a volume and tone pot and top mount it on this bad boy. That would make this very similar to a 1960's Gibson ES-125TC which is one of my favorite old vintage hollow bodies. Serious blues crunch and mojo.

For sale I have a Kay "I think the model is called the Speed Demon" hollow body guitar. Pretty rare guitar - does not have half the bridge or any electronics - this model complete sells between $325 and $500 on ebay. Comes with what is in the picture "besides the carpet haha". Has the original tuners on it and they seem to work fine. I believe the wood is mahogany with a Brazilian Rosewood fretboard. Dark tobacco sunburst color - worn with some finish cracks "has the cool old finish that cracks - not modern polyester". I think it is from the 50's but it could be 60's.

I am not sure the model number or name of the Kay electric this seller is offering - it is similar to the Speed Demon but has a double cutaway and a better neck. I've seen an Airline version just like this but with the Kleenex Box pickups. ...

This looks like someone paired an EKO neck (Italian) with a Univox Body (Japan) - then I guess he either ran out of time, patience or skill. Still needs fret work. Price is right if everything else is in good shape. Hey Max in Columbus... this is the...
