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.

 

Specs:

  • Country of origin: USA (Chicago)
  • Date of manufacture: 1965
  • Sunburst finish
  • Rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays
  • 'Faux Flame' finished neck and back
  • 1x Kay 'Pancake' pickup
  • 1x volume and 1x tone control

 

Condition:

Excellent condition for a guitar turning 60 this year. Some marks, minor dings and signs of playing wear, though no breaks, cracks or issues.

 

Modifications/repairs:

One small hole to headstock from previous strap pin.

 

Accessories:

None.
