c.1957 Kay K8990 Upbeat
This example is a wonderful sounding guitar, with a smooth and even response, nice brightness, and excellent clarity. It plays nicely, thanks to some in-depth set-up work done here that included a new bridge top. The Bigsby is non-original but a welcomed addition, and the pickup heights have been adjusted for optimal balance. The guitar plays well with original frets that are in better-than-average shape as well as original electronics. Original tuners, pickguard, and control knobs.
C-shaped neck carve with 1-3/4” nut width, long scale, and good neck angle.
With 50’s Epiphone Hardshell case
