Cool old Kay guitar

Interesting inlays.

I have a 50's version. Same "f" holes, but is more of a sunburst color.

Has a distinctly "twangy" sound. great for counrty or rockabilly.

Not so much for anythng else.

No idea on value, but the companion Kay upright basses are REAL popular with the current rockabilly crowd, and valued accordingly.

Cool! I've seen pics of the 50's versions on the net so I have an idea what yours looks like. Yep sure does have that twangy sound. Several yrs. ago a rockabilly player live close by and I took it to him and he tuned it and man could that guy play. It has a real good sound to it when in tune. He told me if I wasn't going to play it to loosen the strings so it wouldn't warp the neck so I did.
