I got an old Kay too, sans logo. I think it's a Kay.
I got it at a pawnshop that's long gone now, but I remember the transaction because the dummy behind the counter started rubbing it all over before handing it to me (it's got crazing running up and down the Sunburst finish) and he says - with authority - "you'll have to get it refinished"...
So I learned a few things on it, get ok at playing it, thought I needed a better one, dropped a wad on a Flatiron that was made before Gibson ruined that brand too, and I just didn't like it as much as the Kay. Go figure.
I sold it, still have the Kay. Haven't played a note on it in 10 years but it sure looks good ;]
And I have a new set of strings for it, for a couple years now...
This is the Kay up in the corner with my other "American Sunburst". I sure like this pic, because there's like 4 guitars in there I keep forgetting I have, like that 12 string Stella, and the virtually unplayed Airline, so it's like Xmas ;]
This is the Flatiron. I wish I'd kept it, such a looker. But it just didn't float my boat like the Kay. The Kay sounds old.
I'd take a 1918 Gibson Army Navy though, if one materialized at yesterday's price.
Battle of Evermore anyone?
