This looks like a "transitional" period Swingmaster from the late 1960's. Kay was still making guitars in the USA at this point but they had started to use an occasional Asian part such as the Vibrato tailpiece on this guitar. The Speedbump pickups are unusual on a Swingmaster - they usually had the Barney Kessel "Kleenex Box" pickups and the neck has the teardrop inlays as most of the Kay electric line of this period. The Red Sunburst is a neat addition - most of the Swingmasters I see are tobacco or brown bursts.
