1950's Kay 5160 Baritone Guitar - Electric Acoustic - 000 Sized

    1950's Kay 000 sized guitar - model 5160, made in Chicago and strung as a Baritone now because of it's 26" scale. It has a big acoustic projection with a lot of overtones rumbling out of this box - 4" deep - with a factory painted faux spruce top and faux flamed maple back and sides.

  I've leveled and polished the frets, put on new Grover Sta-Tite tuners and added a single coil pickup with volume and tone controls - adjustable height.

It's tuned to B - five steps down from standard tuning

Martin Cleartone Baritone strings sized 70-54-39-30-20-14

B-E-A-D-F#-B  

    This setup is made for big banging blues but still has a low action - with a string height of 1/8" measured at the 12th fret bass side - 3/32" treble side and it plays well there up and down the fingerboard.  There is a screw in the neckjoint through the strap button to help hold a neck reset in place.

Play Glen Campbell's Wichita Lineman solo note for note - amped or just acoustic.

 Ships in a new padded gig bag.  I've posted a sample on SoundCloud.
