Vintage 1960s KAPA Minstrel Teardrop - Rare American-Made Classic
Our users rate Reverb
A rare piece of 1960s American guitar history! This KAPA Minstrel features the iconic "teardrop" body shape, famously produced in Hyattsville, Maryland. If you are looking for that unique vintage surf/garage rock vibe without the Vox price tag, this is it.
Condition & Details:
- Serial Number: 20883.
- Playability: The guitar is fully functional and sounds fantastic. It features the legendary ultra-slim KAPA neck, making it incredibly comfortable and fast to play.
- Electronics: All original electronics/pickups are working as they should. Great clarity and "jangle."
- Cosmetics (Full Disclosure): * The body appears to have been refinished (repainted) by a previous owner.
- The original pickguard was cracked but has been glued/repaired. It is stable and holds together well, adding to the "player grade" character of the instrument.
- Being a vintage instrument, it shows normal signs of wear and tear consistent with its age.
Why buy this KAPA? KAPA guitars were built with high-quality German hardware (Höfner parts). This Minstrel is a "player’s guitar"—it's not a museum piece, but it’s a reliable, great-sounding instrument that stands out on any stage or studio.
