Silvertone Guitar

This is a vintage 1964 Kay Vanguard

with 2 chrome DeArmond pickups

in RARE black tuxedo finish!

It has 2 volume and 2 tone controls

and a 3 way toggle switch.

The pots are clean and function as intended

and the toggle toggles nicely.

No scratchy sounds!

Pots are CTS and dated 1964

Pickups are dated May of 1964

All original parts down to the last screw.

Original tuners are very clean and hold

tune without constant slip or play.

All chrome is clean with little to no pitting

and no rust at all.

All screw slots are standard flat head

with no stripped slots and no rust.

Has original wooden adjustable bridge

which is set for nice action with room

to raise or lower to suit your needs.

This Kay has a very nice original finish

as you can see in the pics.

The color is very black and shows

only minimal wear with few small minor nicks around the edges.

The neck finish is smooth like glass

and has only a few nicks around

the headstock.

The pickguard is free of cracks

and is very clean.

It has no pick wear or fading and all

screws are clean and rust free.

The bridge cover is still on the guitar!

Neck is straight and the action is fine.

It's currently set up with a fresh set of tens.

Frets are level and play without dead spots.

This one has full Med-Jumbo type frets

that have signs of having been used

for playing slide.

There are string marks on the higher

frets...not deep grooves.

They should buff out with steel wool

or could be crowned since the frets

are tall and have tons of life left.

The playability isn't effected.

The guitar is great for rhythm

and you can play lead without issue

with bending strings.

The bends feel sluggish after the

12th fret but bend without loss of note.

Overall, a very clean and great

sounding vintage Kay Vanguard

in rare black color.
