Guitar
Okay, I know $575 is a lot of money and these are not the most in demand guitars in the world but - look at how beautiful this 1965 Swingmaster is - it is just stunning. The fully inlaid trapezoid neck and the Kleenex box pickups and that is not the usual painted on tiger-stripe - that looks like a real nicely flamed maple top. Even the case is in beautiful shape.
These guitars are not going to be everyone's cup of tea - it is not a serious rock axe - better for laid back jazzy riffing - but it is a beautiful well preserved piece of American manufactured artisanship.

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. ...

- Airline (kay) Barney Kessel Electric In Cincinatti For $500
Not an amazing deal but a nice looking guitar for a decent price. The Barney Kessel is the most collectible of the Kay's but this is the later 1960's version - not the earlier single cut Kelvinator model - though it does have the Kleenex...
- Check This Out - Kay / Gretsch Or Japanese - You Tell Me?
Okay - here is one I have never seen before - has similarities to Kay Swingmaster, Barney Kessel type guitars but check out all that funky teardrop accent work!? That Pickguard? And the sweet herringbone binding - was this a one off? or a later Japanese...

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...
