Today, Lawman Guitars is Presenting... 

A beautiful 1979 Kay Model K-588 Deluxe Dreadnought Guitar with the original soft shell case. These guitars were only made from 1979 thru 1980 in Korea. Very high quality and play much better than the later Kay imported models.

The guitar plays as nice as it looks. We had Jeff the Tech go over it completely and added a new set of Dr Ducks Phosphorus Bronze 12 gauge strings.  Very bold bright sound and an absolute pleasure to play.

It has a couple small dings and such but overall in excellent shape for a 1970's guitar. The frets are still in great shape. I don't think it got much play. Looking at the case, I would assume it lived in there most of its life. Nice Spruce lamamated top with Mahogany back and sides. Rosewood board with brass frets.
The Kay pickguard is beautiful.  Original tuners.  The guitar has a 25 1/2 inch scale neck with a 1 11/16 inch nut. Full body bindings that are just gorgeous! 

Check out the case. The case is as nice as the guitar. All latches, hinges, and original handle are still with it. It even still has the accessory box and lid still operable. Beautiful case for your cool guitar!
Beautiful but vintage so its sold as is no returns. However, I have been hand picking my customers instruments for over 20 years now and they all loved the guitars I found them. This cool Kay will certainly not be an exception. 

Thanks for checking out our cool guitars, parts and gear!
