There is no price listed for this guitar but he will trade it for a Tele - but I wanted to post it so I can archive the photo - since these are very rare - I have not seen one for sale in the past few years. The tone of thee guitars is very similar to a Stratotone or a Silvertone/Harmony Jupiter.

For sale:

1959 Kay Electric Guitar. Semi hollow body electric guitar. Two single-wound pickups. Pickup and pickguard covers are made of copper. Curly Maple, Tobacco Sunburst. Rosewood fretboard. Guitar is original. Neck is straight. Electronics work. Took it by Real Guitars in SF and they told me not to change a thing. Name is "Style Leader"... Was an upgrade over the "Value Leader" line which had chrome pickups and pickguards. Basically an awesome blues guitar. Think Jimmy Rogers or the re-issue that T-Bone Burnett is playing with Robert Plant/Krauss right now. Great tone. I'll take the best offer or trade for a telecaster. There are none of these copper ones for sale ever.

    Oh cool! I have one of these that I thought was a value leader. It's the three pick-up version. I actually just put it up on ebay, but if you want any pictures before it goes, let me know and I can take some.
