Description

The listing, Knock around Acoustic Guitar by Kay has ended.

This is a Kay guitar from the Seventies. I have it strung with nylon strings, but it could probably be strung with steel strings. It has classical style tuners, so I put classical style strings on it. It's not perfect, it has dents, dings, and buckle rash, but for it's age, it's in pretty good shape. It's the kind of guitar you can have sitting around, just pick up and play any time. You can toss it in the truck for taking on camping trips, or taking to college. If it gets busted or stolen. you won't be out much. Now, mind you I've worked it over to make it play as good as any. Made the adjustments it needed, and moisturized the wood. Unfortunately, they cost about 28 dollars to ship the cheapest possible way. Nothing I can do about that, but if you can arrange pickup, great.

Huh?

Gordo is west of Tuscaloosa. on 82, about forty miles out. It wouldn't be too bad of trip to come pick it up. If my truck was running, I'd meet you in Tuscaloosa, but right now that's not possible, and won't be until the weather warms up and I can stand to be outside long enough to finish fixing it. If you were coming to Tuscaloosa anyway, it's not that much out of the way.

I'd love to restore this guitar I'm a lead singer and guitarist it would get alot of use

Jan 1st, 2013 at 4:07:42 PM PST by

bear in mind this is a starter guitar. complete restoration would be way more expensive than the guitar is worth, that's why I haven't done it myself. I found it online, nobody wanted it, I took it in and made it play again. I can't stand to see them languish in non playing order. I had to pass on another just like it, that in some ways was in better shape, but I can't adopt them all as my "foster children" as I refer to them. That one, somebody had put steel strings on and basically ruined it, though cosmetically it was much better looking, making it playable would have been unbelievably difficult

Wait a minute? Are you also asking for $40 on top of the credits?
Fanned you, fan me back please & ty!

Dec 27th, 2012 at 10:46:55 AM PST by

No... buy it here for credits, or if they want to come pay me cash, I'm fine with it either way. One or the other, makes no difference to me.

Dec 27th, 2012 at 11:20:11 AM PST by

I will need the shipping cost, but other than that, no problem if you buy through here and want it shipped. We were discussing her getting it in person. In that case, she can buy it here for credits, then just pick it up. Though with the price of gas these days, it's probably more economical to mail it.

Dec 27th, 2012 at 11:26:53 AM PST by

Looks like good starter guitar. I would pay for shipping

Dec 27th, 2012 at 7:47:15 PM PST by

This is a starter guitar, though back when it was made, the quality was better even on cheapie starter guitars than it is now. It bears the Kay logo, but please don't confuse it with the old American made Kays. The name sold, as did Harmony, then they moved the construction operations overseas, hoping to trade on the name. Still, beats the hell out of the low end stuff coming out of china now.

Dec 29th, 2012 at 1:21:51 PM PST by

American made Kay's even in poor condition, sell for a good amount of cash. Trying to buy one myself, even in poor, unrestored condition it is well into the hundreds already.

Dec 29th, 2012 at 1:23:17 PM PST by

So you take paypal? Its $40, and you pay shipping to buy it now?

Dec 30th, 2012 at 12:19:46 PM PST by

If you want, that would be the deal. However that's not the point of this site. Contact me directly at tootall1121@yahoo.com.

Dec 30th, 2012 at 1:05:52 PM PST by

actually, the logo thing alone is worth like forty bucks all by itself, so I see on Ebay. Anyways, there it is, speak now or forever hold your bid.

Dec 30th, 2012 at 1:08:25 PM PST by

I anticipate doing some practicing on it with some artwork. Which by the way I offer. Will definitely make something of it. Thanks, fanned you!

Dec 30th, 2012 at 3:28:01 PM PST by

is this a 38 or 41 inch

Dec 31st, 2012 at 9:35:22 PM PST by

I guess they'd call it a 38, actual measure of total length is just over 37 inches. Nut to bridge saddle is 24 and a quarter, or close to that. I think they call that the 24 inch scale. It's not a big guitar, for a classical, it's smaller and thinner than most. Has a nice tone, but not a whole lot of volume. I have much better classicals, but they're worth a heck of a lot more more than this is.

Dec 31st, 2012 at 9:43:22 PM PST by

if I win this bid could I send you cash in the mail for s&h

Jan 1st, 2013 at 4:06:13 PM PST by

Note: It will take me a few days to get this shipped out.

Jan 1st, 2013 at 4:33:12 PM PST by

I have everything to do it won't be the same guitar its a hobbie of mine not worried of cost its a fun challenge

Jan 1st, 2013 at 4:36:55 PM PST by

good luck to you then.

Jan 1st, 2013 at 5:18:33 PM PST by

Oh, if you'd prefer, cash price is forty dollars, and even that is negotiable.

Dec 26th, 2012 at 9:44:04 PM PST by

If you "buy" it through here, show up and I'll hand it to you. That saves the shipping cost. I don't have a problem with that. You wouldn't be out but what the gas costs, though these days, if it were a special trip, it would probably be cheaper for me to mail it.
