Dude, that’s a total blues machine. If the neck is straight and playable, you got a real winner. you can’t get that tone any where else. Love it! Enjoy.

Totally straight and playable with low action. I can’t believe it. I drove 8 hours round trip to get it on my day off. Almost six hundred miles. Lol

The Kay branded Thin Twin was my very first electric guitar I got back in 1964. I liked in spite of the baseball bat neck, but back in '65 one day I came home from school and it was gone and the Polara was there in its place--for some reason my father had traded it in at the pawn shop next to his dental lab.
Had that not happened I suppose I would be typing on Let's Talk Kay instead!

Nice! Can't blame you - those are getting harder to find in good condition!

So what's the problem? Not enough of them? Tendency to put a "T" where a "Y" belongs?
