Vintage 1950's Old Craftsman (Kay K22) Sunburst Jumbo Acoustic Guitar

Up for sale, a wonderful and increasingly collectible 1950s Old Kraftsman Jumbo acoustic guitar, a genuine piece of American vintage guitar history. Old Kraftsman was a house brand used by the Spiegel catalog company and was manufactured by the Kay Musical Instrument Company in Chicago. This means this guitar is essentially a Kay K22, built with the same quality woods and craftsmanship as any Kay instrument from the era, just bearing the Old Kraftsman name. Today, these guitars have become sought-after by vintage collectors and players who appreciate authentic American-made instruments from this golden age of guitar makers.

The condition is excellent for its age. The guitar features a bound neck with classic dot inlays, and the structural integrity is outstanding, the neck is straight with no issues whatsoever. The flat top shows no bumps or damage, and the bridge is in excellent condition. This is a well-maintained vintage instrument that has aged gracefully over more than 70 years. The jumbo body size delivers impressive projection and volume, it sounds huge and impressive with warm, resonant tone.

The neck is fat, as all Kay instruments from this era featured. Every aspect of this vintage jumbo speaks to quality American craftsmanship from an era when guitars were built to last generations. It comes with a gig bag.

It ships professionally packed and insured to Continental US and select International destinations.
