This is a beautiful example of a Kay L-1914 - look at that pickguard those tuners!? This guitar has been well kept. If the neck is tight this is a sweet little deal.

    1. It's a Kay N-4. Made in 1964. There were a few models of the N-4 made... This one is a higher end model with an adjustable truss rod. The lower end versions only had a non-adjustable steel re-enforced neck.
