Kay 2 pickup Vanguard in Minneapolis for $199

This seller is offering a nice little Kay Vanguard (could be a Truetone, Old Kraftsman, or Penncrest model) - a two pickup version - for only $199.  Nice deal on a fun vintage USA made electric, BUT can I make one request of all you future sellers.  Please, no more hawking "Brazilian rosewood!"   Gimme a break please!  Just because it was made prior to 1970 and it is has some Rosewood does not make it "Brazilian."  And even if it was it isn't necessarily high quality stuff.  It's on the freaking fretboard for goodness sake - of an electric guitar.  So it has little if anything to do with the tone.  Trust me, if Kay or Harmony were making it, they would just as soon bust up the packing crates and reuse that wood to make guitars.  Let's not get carried away with marketing.

Okay, that is my little pinhead rant for the day.  Go back to your work.  Nothing to see here. - JC

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.
