1950s Kay Upbeat Archtop electric guitar is in fair condition. The neck is fairly straight and still plays good. Please keep in mind this was a budget guitar at the time and doesn’t play like a guitar of our modern times would. The fingerboard has been replaced with an ebony board and rebound and is not completely flush on the neck profile side. The finish has lots of checking, dings and scratches as you might expect for a guitar of this age. The worst of which I’ve tried to show in photos. Electronics work fine and sound good but pots are a little scratchy. Aftermarket Bigsby bridge as shown. No line Kluson Tuners. No case or bag included but will be packed well to ensure a safe arrival. Please see photos for condition. Please ask all questions before hitting the buy button. Payment due within 24 hours.
