Summary

A nice vintage guitar with a very unique body style. Nice and lightweight, so very easy on the neck and shoulder during those long playing sessions

Kay released guitars by many different names at this point in time. According to our research, it appears this is approximately the time when Teisco had ownership of Kay. Painted-mahogany fretboard

Available for purchase is a very cool, excellent condition, "super auditorium" mid '60's Kay 6150 body with a Hofner neck.
It was built in 2 / 2024
The body was never used when I got it, so it's in great condition
The top is beautiful, solid "bearclaw" spruce, with "zipper" binding and rosette
It was originally ladder braced, so I removed the laminate back, and converted it to X-bracing. And then put on a solid walnut back
It's got a 24" scale, 13 frets to the body

Insanely cool and apparently quite rare late 1940s Rex Playboy mini parlor guitar, 12?? at the lower bouts and 22 5?? scale. This was likely marketed by Gretsch, but all features indicate manufacture by Kay. Looks like all solid woods, with spruce top and mahogany back and sides. This ain??t no kid??s guitar! Same materials and construction as larger Kays of the era. In fact, this guitar would be uber cool if paired with one or more of its bigger brothers, e g. a 13?? parlor, 15 5?? OOO, or a ... more

Here??s a SUPER-rare Del Oro ??Luck 7?? hollow-body archtop, built between 1930 and 1935 by the Kay company in Chicago and produced for the Spiegel Company shopping catalog. The "Lucky 7" finish is one that you'll probably never see again in the wild, and it depicts horseshoes, shamrocks and a pair of dice rolling 7s on each side of the soundboard along pinstriping. There are additional Shamrocks stenciled near the shoulder, but not the decal that read "Luck" or "Lucky " . I've NEVER seen one ... more

This is a rare Del Oro parlor guitar from the 1930s. I have been unable to locate another one with the same original paint finish, suggesting it may have been part of a very limited production run. The painting process for this instrument likely required significantly more time to complete compared to guitars with standard stenciling or decalcomania

Kay K1160 parlour, made in USA around 1966, sunburst. These old Kay instruments are super cute, and they certainly have a bit of midcentury swagger.

Not all these old Kays play especially well, but this intonates pretty nicely and plays cleanly up ... more

And the nitro finish flaking and peeling off the neck every time you touched it
