~1950 Kay UpBeat Sunburst

A 1950s Kay Upbeat in Sunburst finish.

Hey looky here! If you're into mid-century design, how about a guitar to match? This guitar has all the elements of mid-50s Kays, like the amazing headstock overlay commonly referred to as the "Kelvinator" headstock because of similar embellishments on mid-century appliances. With the exception of a new Bone nut and a professional re-fret, this guitar is all original. Any way you look at it, it's a lovely guitar and one that you will be happy to play and display.
