Beautiful 1950's Kay K-11 Electric Archtop in Roberts, WI for $1150

This is a goergous big 17" wide and deep Kay Jazz Archtip from the early 1950's with an original Olson "monkey on a stick" style pickup. These are lovely vintage guitars and this one seems to have most of the best features of the early Kay's including the original tailpiece, pickguard and tuners. Look at that lovely curly/burled/flame maple on the rear. And from the description it sounds like it was the original owner as well. Nice find for somebody. JIm C
