For Sale: Vintage 1960s Kapa Continental Electric Guitar – Candy Apple Red Mojo Machine
Up for grabs is a true gem from the golden age of electric guitars — a 1960s Kapa Continental, dripping with vintage mojo and ready to write its next chapter with a new owner. This well-loved instrument carries decades of soul and character, and it’s just waiting to inspire someone new.
Crafted during the vibrant electric boom of the '60s, this Continental features a classic offset double cutaway body, finished in a stunning candy apple red that’s aged with grace. It sports a bolt-on neck with a smooth 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, accented by dot inlays, and a comfortable playability that makes it perfect for everything from surf to garage rock.
Under the hood, it’s loaded with two warm and punchy double coil pickups, giving you a wide tonal palette to work with. The hardware includes a Jazzmaster-style vibrato tailpiece for expressive bends and shimmering tremolo, an adjustable bridge, and classic chrome hardware throughout. Control layout includes two volume knobs, a master tone knob, and two vintage slider switches for pickup selection — all mounted on a sleek black pickguard.
Tuning is kept solid with six-on-a-side vintage tuners, and the whole aesthetic is topped off with a period-correct vibe.
As a bonus, this beauty comes with a rare and vibey Bobby Lee "No Mishap" patented guitar strap — an iconic piece of gear in its own right, and the perfect companion to a guitar like this.
Whether you're a collector, a player chasing vintage tone, or someone who just appreciates instruments with history and soul, this Kapa Continental is a fantastic value for the price.
