The Kay Thin Twin was originally made in the '50s and was played by Jimmy Reed, Howlin' Wolf. This example is true to the original with two blade pickups. It is all original, with the exception of a replaced output lead and an added strap button. There is some light checking in the finish, but overall it is in impressively clean condition.Specs
