1960's Kay Vanguard 100 solid bodyThe 1960s Kay Vanguard 100 (K100) is a classic, American-made solid-body electric guitar produced in Chicago between 1961 and 1966. Originally built by the Kay Musical Instrument Company as an entry-level instrument to compete with cheap Japanese imports, it has since earned a cult following for its quirky retro charm and unique raw tone.
