Guitar
This looks like a "transitional" period Swingmaster from the late 1960's. Kay was still making guitars in the USA at this point but they had started to use an occasional Asian part such as the Vibrato tailpiece on this guitar. The Speedbump pickups are unusual on a Swingmaster - they usually had the Barney Kessel "Kleenex Box" pickups and the neck has the teardrop inlays as most of the Kay electric line of this period. The Red Sunburst is a neat addition - most of the Swingmasters I see are tobacco or brown bursts.

Vintage Kay Guitar. Electric Hollowbody. 1960's. Resembles the Speed Demon model but a little different. I can't seem find this one anywhere.

Missing one of the emblems on head and the input has been fixed with a piece of metal. Cool Guitar. Reply to email or call brian @ 949-*********. $250 cash. Pick up only.I can email more detailed pics upon request.

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 seller is offering an Orpheum single pickup electric for $500. These Orpheums are similar to the Kay one piece guitars from the late 1950's that were similar to the Harmony H44 Stratotones. From the looks of that body, pickup and neck I'd...
- Small Vintage Tube Combo Amp In Long Beach Ca For $65
This looks like it could be a Garnet (Canadian made) tube amp. It also could be Japanese such as an early Univox. Either way it's a good deal. Notice that the chassis and control panel are mounted on the top front up against the grill. This is an...

- Nice Kay Swingmaster Sc In Cleveland / Akron Oh For $300
This is a fairly unmolested Kay Swingmaster - it's a fully hollow archtop with the Single cutaway - I believe these are solid birch tops but it could be maple too. These are quite nice looking guitars - unique and relatively rare. Vintage Kay...
