Kay Penncrest Vanguard II 1960s Sunburst

This vintage Kay Penncrest Vanguard II is a great example of catalogue-guitar magnificence. If you’ve ever had an interest in the like of Silvertone or Harmony, you’ll very likely be fully aware of these sorts of instruments, but for those who are thinking ‘what is that’, allow us to explain. The Vanguard II was originally a catalogue guitar for Sears and Roebuck, the American department store. Build around an Alder body and sporting a superb, sweeping pickguard, the Vanguard has a Maple neck topped with a Rosewood fingerboard and that broad, oar-like headstock. Up the pointy end you’ll find a set of 6-in-a-line open gear tuners with white buttons to keep you right, so you can indulge in some tasteful vibrato action with the bridge. If you want that sound that stings like the distant past, the best way to get it is to use a guitar that was there the first time, so come and check this out! Protected by a three-year warranty with our retro techs, this vintage Kay Penncrest Vanguard II is available at Wunjos with a gig bag as standard.
