    Description

    Rare Vintage 50s Kay 6858 Archtop Guitar w Maple Fretboard All Orig.
    Wonderfully maintained Kay 6858 Archtop
    Entirely original hardware
    Bridge, trapeze, strap peg, pickguard and a great set of Waverly tuners as well.
    What really stands out are the tortoiseshell red "moon dot" fret markers
    against the maple fretboard,,, nice. Neck is nice and true also
    The maple fretboard really brings out the warmth and volume in her.
    Just outstanding tonal quality
    Action is great at about 2.5MM see foto and she plays clean up and down the neck
    Really a joy to play
    Constructed using the "unbreakable" laminated maple with spruce
    grained top and faux flamed back and sides.
    Few small blemishes from 70 years of activity but she is very well built
    and ready for another 70 yrs. The Kays were famous for their rock
    solid construction and of course made in the USA
    Let me know if you have any questions.
    She's a gem
    Thanks for looking
    Will ship intl as well as HI/AK mssg me for details
