I came across this Kay acoustic today, it's the first time I've seen a Kay with this logo and bolt on neck. Any ideas??




Kay was slapping bolt on adjustable neck on their guitars before they were even known as Kay.
Here is one from the 1930s.
By the mid-1960s it cost less to make a guitar in Japan than what Valco was paying for just the wood. So a bolt on neck was probably more a cost cutting thing than anything else. Valco, of course, went belly up a year or two after your guitar was made.
I have one of these guitars. It is simply awesome and decades ahead of its time... Here it is
