60s Kay Swingmaster Guitar

Post by westtexasred »

I got this at my friend's store today. It's a late 60s Kay Swingmaster. It looks like the same model as this one from the Craig's List Hunt blog (link) It's mostly original except for The tune-O-matic and Grovers. Love the "speed bump" pickups!

Congrats! When are you going to open your guitar museum?

Love flame headstock. I have always wanted one of these or the speed demon, even thought I have never played one.
