Thread Name: Help Repairing Old Archtop
Subject: RE: Help Repairing Old Archtop
If it has nothing but a treble clef inlayed or stenciled on the peghead it may well be an old Kay. If it is solid wood in the top (rare in kays) its probably a decent guitar, but the neck is critical. If it shows a visible bow and does not have a truss rod (likely)....it'll be real hard to get a decent playing action and may not be worth the effort.
