Kay Classic Guitar 1890 USA nylon string guitar.24 1/4" near full scale.Model # K7008.1960s American made classical guitar with a dark finished spruce top and mahogany back and sides and black plastic body binding on both the top and bottom. Beautifully grained fingerboard and bridge made of Brazilian rosewood,I believe. The bridge is the standard Kay tall profile string-through with two decorative bolts and a bone saddle & solid flat connected. The string height at the 12th fret is <3/16ths” and there is enough saddle to shave if you want the strings lower. The 2” nut is also bone I believe and in great original condition. The tuners are the standard made-in-Japan plank tuners Kay typically used on slot-head guitars from this era. Fan bracing supports the top. The bold patterned rosette is a decal but it’s in impeccable condition.Beaten & battered by age & god knows what(has a rectangle shaped hole left bottom bout side thru the mahogany 3/4"X 1/8")it has weathered the storm & still plays nice.The neck is a flat & straight D radius & rock solid.5 cosmetic(don't expect much). 40.00
