Vintage Kay Guitar for under 30 dollars, What??
by adammormolsteinmusic
My favorite instruments are ones that are a little crusty, and one of a kind. While driving down the street this weekend Caroline Burdett and I spotted a perfect little gem of a guitar at a garage sale. A small scale, Kay K-200 Acoustic Guitar from the 1970′s. It had only two strings, broken tuners, a busted bridge and a lot of dirt and paint on it, but it looked like the perfect candidate for a little DIY afternoon fun.
We were able to negotiate Mr. Garage Sale Man down from $10 to $8 and finally to $4 and some pocket lint. Then we headed to Avenue N Guitars, and got some new tuners, and strings. With a little elbow grease and and some finesse I was able to breathe new life into this little gal. Now she plays like a dream. and all for under $30. Score!
