A lovely Kay K6533 Value Leader model electric hollow body, dating from circa 1965 (made in Chicago, USA).
These guitars are best known for being the 'Jack White' model. I believe he uses one of these to play Seven Nation Army (tuned to open A). They're also rightfully referred to as a 'poor man's ES-125', with very similar aesthetics and functionality.
Naturally, it has a great blues sound and packs a lot of punch from the lone pickup. Plays nicely with a comfortable action, original brass frets in decent condition, too.
