*Item*
Here we have a 1960's Kay K571 "Speed Demon" Electric Guitar w/ it's original case!
*Summary*
What a COOL classic guitar this is. Has a wonderful and uniquely rich tone. This guitar would really work well with styles like Classic Rock, Rock-a-Billy, Folk/Punk, and Singer/Songwriters. But that's just my opinion. Heck, go chug-chug some djenty black metal breakdowns with it, no judgement here.
Since it's a Hollow body, I find it has some nice volume and tone even when not plugged (but you should plug it in). I think it would make for a nice versatile studio guitar. Low output single coil, 90% original components (see below). It's hard to find this guitar in such good playing shape.
Recent full rehab and pro setup by Dave Fecca in SJ!
*Condition*
- Playing wise, this guitar is in very good condition. This beauty just had itself a full professional rehab & setup. We're looking at mostly original components! The only non-original parts would be the tone & volume knobs. Everything else is original inside and out!
- This K571 has OBVIOUSLY been played a lot. It has all the marking of a guitar from this era that's actually been played and not left all alone in a museum case for 60+ years.
- For starters, it's missing a pickguard. We honestly think it looks cooler this way.
- We have dents, scuffs, and scratches all over. We took meticulous pictures to try and document every possible blemish we could fine, but there are a lot. We recommend taking your time and zooming in all of the pictures we have so you have a more accurate representation on this piece's condition. At the end of the day, you're buying a Vintage Guitar like this because it looks and sounds pretty and has no shortage of character, not because it's perfect.
* Additional Specs*
- Low output “speed bump“ single coil pickup
- 19 fret rosewood fingerboard
- Adjustable wooden bridge
- Vintage original tailpiece
- Original Kluson deluxe tuning machines
- 3-bolt neck (original bolts)
