They look pretty sweet.Hope they are priced lower than the Harmony reissues.

Kelvinator headstocks to boot! Color me interested.

The first page says the basses are $999 and the guitars are $899 list price including the case.

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.

"Did you know. . ."

Ehh, my 60s vintage Kay bass has checkered binding!

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.

These never came on the market. Anyone know what happened?

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.

Didn't Kay make the body for the first Rickenbacker hollowbody guitar?The Rickenbacker archtop with a horseshoe pickup?

This is the one I mean.I heard this body was made by kay
