This auction is for a very cool, and very rare, Kay Value Leader ( rare 3 pickup model ) that was
made in the early 1960's.
We're selling it for the original owner, who's parents gave him the guitar, when he was a teenager, many years ago. It may be a 1962 or 1963 model ( or even older ) but we have no way of knowing the exact year.
We believe the model number is K1963 but we're not sure of that either.Regardless, these classic guitars are very similar to the Old Kraftsman and Silvertone blues guitars that were also popular during this era. Kay made several different brands and you can read all about them by running a " Kay Guitar " search on Wikipedia . Like any vintage 50 to 60 year old guitar, this one is not perfect. The body has several scratches dents and dings and there are two pieces of binding missing in the sharp point of the cutaway. One of the position ( black dot ) markers is missing, but those are always on eBay etc. The original ( Chicken Head Type ) Pickup Selector Switch Knob was missing, but we have installed a brand new one, and I'll update the pictures asap. All three of the pickups do work, but the center one is weak, so you may want to have it repaired, or simply not use it. The selector switch also works. Some of the six ( volume and tone ) control knobs, are sticky, so you may want to spray, or clean the pots, with some contact cleaner etc.
If you have any questions email us before you make your purchase, and not after.All sales are final and all items are sold as is.There will be No Returns.
