Be sure to check out the cool video demo we produced for this cool guitar!

This cool Kent guitar was only made one year. 1968. It was made with the shown Bigsby Tailpiece and a standard Tailpiece. This was the Deluxe Model. It even came with a Bigsby Bridge. Very high end appointments for a Made in Japan guitar.

I love this one......It has a very hot Japanese Single Coil Pickups. We did discover when checking all the electronics that somewhere along the line, the bridge pickup must have gone out. Instead of finding an original or rewinding the broken original, the shop installed a fender Strat pickup inside the Kent Pickup cover. We would have never known this if our Tech hadn't done such a great job checking everything out. The good news is, the pickup sounds great. A really good pairing with the original neck Pickup. You would have not ever known if we hadn't disclosed it. From there, the guitar is all original. Original hardware, Tortise look Pickguard and Bigsby Metal Bridge.. Knobs are different colors from volume and tone. I had assumed they had been replaced but the catalog we found shows them exactly this way! The Frets are in great shape as is the original tuners and nut. I love the cool binding and side treatments to this guitar. Very unique! The guitar plays and sounds like you would expect it to...This is a very cool guitar...they play and sound great .......It is set up with great playing action...it is an awesome find and some lucky buyer is going to get this really cool guitar...You will not believe these pickups when you get it... Very Strong!

Jeff the tech did a great job with this one.....He worked on the neck to give it great easy playing action and it intonates all the way up the 22 frets... The neck is great..Its a 25 1/2inch scale neck with a full 1 5/8ths inch at the nut..The body is a full 16 1/4 inch wide at the lower bout and its 40 1/2 inches long.....All set up with a new set of 10 gauge strings. This guitar is ready to rock for another 50 Years!! It has a few player dings on this guitar. Its vintage but in very good Condition! 

Check out the original Soft Shell Case we have with this one. Very cool and its in excellent vintage shape. A great case for your cool Guitar! All latches, hinges and original handle are here. Even the accessory box is still here. Only the middle leather hinge is missing. Those usually are. The case is in as nice of shape as this beautiful Vintage Guitar.

Now this guitar is beautiful and vintage so its sold as-is no returns… Thanks for respecting that.
