@pkalldayful Saw your post on this page, do yourself a favor, save up and buy a Godin 5th Avenue, they are very nice archtop guitars, I guarantee it'll blow your socks off, especially for how low priced they are!

fine sounding guitar. I wish i had an arch-top steel-string acoustic. they sound different than flat-tops. I also have a small collection of acoustic guitars, i enjoy playing  them and i too hope to buy more, when i can afford it.

they're all fine quality instruments, but none of them is trully vintage... yet...

Hi i have the same guitar but it has a cherry colored pick guard and cherry colored frets. I looked everywhere to find it but i cant. If you know any place i can get info on it please tell thanks. PS its has the cerial number N-15 on the inside

What song is this, the one youre playing? at the beguinning?

[grev21]

It's one of my own.

I actually ended up recording it with a band I play in. It turned out really nice,

we ended up calling it "Bittersweet"

if you want to message me your email address I'll send you a copy if you'd like.

[puchalaka]

Are these steel strings or nlon?

[grev21]

steel

[mtischer86]

sounds very good.

[xarflan]

What kind of strings did you put on it?

[grev21]

not sure, they were on there when I got it.

I assume they are daddario mediums or something like that

[xarflan]

Are they nylon? I just found this exact guitar in my father in laws basement and am starting to retore it.

[grev21]

nope they are typical bronze wound acoustic strings.

[warh0rn]

nicely done.. and it sounds fine to me as well..

[boat027]

Hey man, I have that guitar I think. The headstock on mine has no name on it. Do you have a product number on the inside? Mine is L2768686...

[grev21]

Cool, I'll take a look in mine. But yeah if it looks like this and has the L in front of the stamp then it's no doubt a Kay made guitar like mine, but could have been sold under a handful of rebrands.

[wisesatyr72]

didnt Kurt Cobain had the same guitar?

[thesteve120]

sounds pretty good to this trained one as well

[williestratton]
