This seller is offering a vintage Kay Style leader for $400. The Style Leader is the fancier version of the more common "Value Leader" made by Kay and also sold as a Trutone and Old Kraftsman from the late 1950's thru the mid 1960's. \
I've always thought the Style leaders were neat guitars with their copper accents. This particular model has the nicer bound Kay neck with the three sets of double fret markers that shows up on a bunch of their guitars. It should be thinner with more of a 1960's feel than the older "baseball bat" style necks on some other Kay electrics.
$400 is not cheap but it is in line with what many sellers are asking for these guitars nowadays. - JC
