1959 Kay Jimmy Reed - Natural in very good condition for its age.
The Kay Thin Twin guitar.
The Kay K-161 ThinTwin electric guitar made from 1952 to 1959, was one of the longest produced guitars by Kay Musical Instrument Companay.
The K161 Thin-Twin was commonly referred to as the "Jimmy Reed" guitar.
Introduced not long after Gibson's Les Paul, the ThinTwin was a semi-hollow body guitar and larger than its name "thin" implied.
The guitar's body was 2 3⁄4 inches (70 mm) deep.
"ThinTwin" was a reference to the unique appearance of the dual pickups, having a very slim profile.
Some minor weatherchecking on the nitro finish and only some little playwear!
Hollowbody maple body with single-cutaway.
2x famous Gold K - "Kleenex-box" pickups with strong output and 2x Volumen/-2x Tone controls.
The 3-way selector switch lets you play each pickup individually or all 3 together.
Original electric, all 4 pots are dated 1959 (Centralab!), only the 3-way switch has been replaced.
Great action, the 19 frets still have plenty of life.
Sounds nice, electrified and unplugged.
