For sale is a beautiful 1952 Kay K-161 Thin Twin guitar. The Thin Twin is a semi-hollow body guitar and larger than its name "thin" implies. The guitar's body is 2 3⁄4 inches deep. The K161 Kay Thin Twin electric guitar was originally introduced in 1952 and was known as the "Jimmy Reed" or "Howlin' Wolf" model. The Thin Twin got its name from its two blade pickups, known for their distinctive clean, sharp, sustaining sound. The Thin Twin's hollowbody chamber & parallel bracing produces that gutsy, bluesy, raw sound with a clean natural distortion without feedback.
