Kay K6836 Archtop Guitar 1960s Husk As Is - Sunburst

This guitar would be a killer if it hadn't suffered an unfortunate mishap.

When we found the guitar it was in a chipboard case, lying flat in a garage with other guitars in hard cases piled atop it. The weight of the guitars slowly caved the top, causing the crack you see and separating the internal bracing from the top.

For those who are capable, this should be a good item to resurrect.

Sold as-is with no returns.

The neck seems like it is good to go, despite the mistreatment.

No case. We will double box for shipping.
