Pretty cool. No big archtop reissue though? Something cool like this, but not ****** like the originals

The sheet highlighting the "Kelvinator" guitar has a provocative little blurb at the bottom.

I have been talking to Roger Fritz and he told me he was going to be involved in the construction of the basses. Check out his site. He has always done good work: http://www.fritzbrothersguitars.com/guitars.htm

Damn! I'm in for one of them -- the cherry sunburst, please! Have they mentioned when they will be available?

The Kay company will have their reissue guitars in stores by June and you are to contact your local distributor, or go through Musician's friend, who will carry the line.

:shock: Hey, wait a minute: they're claiming to be the first American manufacturer of electric guitars? Did I miss something?

Maybe they are. That's some statement. I guess they can back it up.
