Guitar
These guitars are legendary because of Blues great Jimmy Reed. However, you have to play one and decide for yourself wether they are worth all the hype and frenzy. To me they are more of a collector guitar but that is just me. I like an axe with more bite and growl and punch; these are milder in output than say a Valco or Airline from the same period. That said they are considered classic collectible guitars. Keep in mind that the seller is making it clear his is not a pristine model - but it is mostly original.

1950's Silvertone Thin Twin Jimmy Reed Guitar-if you are looking here then you already know what this is on how scarce these are and how Killer Cool they sound.Fantastic Sunburst- Here are the important details:
All Original Electronics,Knobs,Tuners (replaced buttons),Tailpiece,Bridge, Pick-ups work great. Pickguard screws have been replaced as well as pick-up screws and finish washers.The input jack has a large washer on the body where there was some hole damage.This guitar has been played and has years of wear and ageing,but sounds Great for Blues,Rock or Jazz. If you are a collector and want a pristine example of this don't even bother... if you are a player and want a guitar that has plenty of Mojo and will blow minds wherever you play,then this may be the ax for you.Sorry NO TRADES,CASH &CARRY,NO LOW BALL OFFERS,TIMEWASTERS,DEADBEATS,EBAY WANNABES OR IN GENERAL IDIOTS need not reply.

- 1950's Kay Electric Mandolin In Portland For $425
hey, I don't know much about Mandolins except that they have 8 strings and make my fingers cramp up when I try to play them but this Kay is a real eye-popper. Just glancing at the photo we can see that it has the original Kay Kraft Voisenette style...
- 1960's Silvertone Acoustic In Logan Utah For $75
This full sized Silvertone acoustic looks to be in very nice condition. The arrangement of the dot markers on the neck makes me suspect this is a Kay built Silvertone. Should play nicely. I don't know where Logan Utah is but maybe you do. ****************...
- Airline Electric On Ebay - Unusual Model - Going... Going..
Here is an unusual model Airline electric guitar apparently from the 1958 - 1963 period - but it seems to be a mish-mash of varius Valco and Chicago parts from the era. Note the totally whack Bigsby style tailpiece - I've never seen one like that...
- 1950's Kay Single Pickup Hollow Body Jazz Guitar In Monterey Ca For $325
This Kay hollow electric looks to be in very nice shape. It is rather unusual since it looks like a 3/4 depth rather tha a full size acoustic like the N-2 and it has the single cut soft curve lower bout that is similar to the Kay electric Bass...
- Kay Hollow Body Electric In Chicago For $220
This is a ncie looking Kay - fully hollow witha DeArmond pickup and everything looks original. Seller is only asking $220 so it's a pretty good deal. 1950's Kay acoustic electric guitar - $220 (Logan Square) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
