Wholly cow...I found this at a local store today. The headstock label says "Rex" but it was made by Kay(I think). It has the biggest neck I have ever seen on a guitar.

Look at the neck compared to the "50s" neck on my Les Paul.It's a nice guitar.It is all original except for the tuner buttons.It plays well, the action is good and all the electronics and hardware work like they are supposed to.
