Was channel surfing and stopped on a public station where they were featuring a John Kay performance. He was playing his Limited Edition 381. Nice to see his RIC in action. | ||

He really loves his guitar. His only has two differences from the stock model. First, it has a wireless system built inside to make it easier to use in performance. Second, the binding along the top edge of the fingerboard is different- in fret segments where there normally would be a marker, it's entirely black. He's legally blind and this special high contrast setup greatly helps him see where he is on the fingerboard. | ||

Interesting. I knew his sight had been getting worse when I saw him and his band in the late 70's at a small club in the midwest. One of the best performances ever! | ||
