About This Listing

⚡️1959/60 Kay Galaxy, Barney Kessel Pickup⚡️. And here is the beautiful Hollowbody Kay from the late 50s early 60s, made in Chicago USA. This model is more elaborate than the more familiar Speed ​​Demons.

The neck is very pleasant with a beautiful Rio rosewood fingerboard and triangular markers, period Kluson mechanics like on the old Gibsons, hollow body, resonant with a beautiful acoustic balance, superb patina. The pickup is nicknamed the Keelnex box or the Barney Kessel after the well-known guitarist who had a Kay equipped with the same powerful, warm, rich pickups.

Custom bone nut and beautiful ebony bridge. A formidable Kay in jazz, but also very comfortable in folk or garage rock!! To try !!! Information and tests on request, shipping also possible.

Le manche est très agréable avec une belle touche en palissandre de Rio et des repères triangulaires, mécaniques Kluson d’époque comme sur les vielles Gibson, caisse creuse, resonnante avec un bel équilibre acoustique, superbe patine.
Le micro est surnommé le Keelnex box ou le Barney Kessel du nom du guitariste bien connu qui avait une Kay équipée des mêmes micros puissants, chaleureux, riches. 
Sillet en os sur mesure et magnifique chevalet en ébène.
Une Kay redoutable en jazz, mais aussi très à l’aise en folk ou en rock garage!! A essayer !!!
