Guitar
I contacted the seller of this guitar, his name is Austin, and he said that as of today (Sept 28, 2012) the guitar is still available. This is a pretty sweet deal for a Vanguard - especially one with the nifty ornate Kay headstock logo. Those bridges are kind of tricky if it needs a replacement - just keep that in mind.
These are great slide guitars - nice chunky necks and they are full length scale as well - they just look short because the tailpiece is mounted way back on the body. Once you get used to it this can be pretty cool. The Kay "cake pan" pickup on these is the real prize here. You don't find them on fully solid guitars like this very often and this body is a nice thick piece of solid wood. You could drive a sinker ball over the center field wall with this baby then flip it back around and play "Dying Gambler" by Blind Willie McTell.

This here is a wonderful guitar. It sounds awesome and plays really well. It's an awesome garage rock and blues guitar. I've used it at a few shows myself back when I was in a band. It handled itself well. The tone knob, however, doesn't work, but it still sounds fat and has rockibility. The bridge is also a little broken, It's a $5 fix anywhere you go though. Again, the price is negotiable, so work with me. The money isn't flowing these days so I'm trying to rid myself of some things. This is a great guitar and piece of history.

Have a great day!

These Kay Vanguards are highly under-rated guitars. To me they sound and play as well as the old Harmony H44's for slide. Really bright, soulful tone - especially if you put nice heavy strings on it. If you've never played one of...
