Description Exact Year: 1960 Model: Swingmaster Brand: Kay String Configuration: 6 String Body Type: Hollow Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
What a stunningly beautiful instrument! This one has a very uniquely aged brown sunburst. Guitar plays very well with moderate action setup for jazz or blues players (could be lowered if desired by sanding bottom of bridge). Neck is very nice contour; not chunky "C" shape but not a flat "D" shape - somewhere in the middle. Neck is very straight with maybe .002 relief at 5th fret when fretting 1st and 12th fret.There is some typical "real relic" aging on this instrument with various amounts of finish checking, scratches, etc as shown in pictures. All electronics, including famed "speed bump" pickups, on guitar. Tuners may be replacement but unsure (one tuner shaft bent but functions fine). Guitar will come with a non-original hard shell case. Shipping is $45 anywhere in Continental USA, elsewhere will be actual cost plus $15 to cover packaging materials, fees, shipping box.
