Check this out - Kay / Gretsch or Japanese - you tell me?





Okay - here is one I have never seen before - has similarities to Kay Swingmaster, Barney Kessel type guitars but check out all that funky teardrop accent work!? That Pickguard? And the sweet herringbone binding - was this a one off? or a later Japanese clone (note that it is a bolt on neck but he doesn't show us the rear.

Unfortunately the seller seeems to be looking for quite a bit in trade for this possible non-working guitar. He wants a Honda Scooter or a Mac computer. Maybe someone can talk some sense into him. Or maybe it really is a gretch (sic!)

This almost looks like it was purposely dust covered by some Hollywood propmaster.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO ALL READERS

I am reposting items here that are listed on CRAIGSLIST throughout the USA. I am not selling any of these items and I cannot facilitate the sale of anything here - so please do not comment or post questions like "Is this still available?" or "I am interested in your guitar please call me, etc." You need to contact the seller directly by calling the phone number listed on the post or by going to the CL listing and emailing them. NEW FEATURE: Click on the title of the CL Listing inside my post to LINK thru to the original Post. If the original CL listing is deleted the item most likely is no longer available. Thanks for checking out my blog and GOOD LUCK!



Please don't call, contact, bother or harass these sellers long after their post is expired. Take for granted if the listing is over 30 days old that the guitar or amp is LONG GONE! Thank you.
