    Description

    1964 Kay Vanguard
    I put this guitar together for a friend as part of a trade that never happened.
    This guitar was a mostly complete when I got it. I believe that the neck, tuners, body, electronics and bridge are original.  The pickup is marked 110364 which dates to 1964.
    There are some marks on the back of the guitar that look like maybe it was too close to a space heater at some point.  These marks are mostly in the finish.
    The headstock badge (kelvinator?), bridge cover and truss rod cover are vintage correct items but not original to this guitar.
    There is a small ground wire added to the string bock that can be easily removed if you want to go original.
    I modified the pickguard and pickup. I cut a new pickguard because the original was heavily stained and looked terrible; the original pickguard will be included. The pickup was very weak, so I rewound it.  All pieces except wire, are original to this pickup.  The rewound pickup specs are 5.8 Kohm - 3.8 henries.
    This one is a decent player and sounds great. It's well worn, but still in decent condition for a 50+ year old guitar.  A padded gigbag is included.
    I'm open to reasonable offers.
    Please ask questions. I can post different pictures if you need.
