Kay also put out a bolt-on neck in the (I believe) late 50's. The one in my collection is not playable at this point (no strings) but as I recall it did ok the last time I played it as far as neck-set etc. The tone was something else. Thats probably why I never re-strung it. I've played one of the new taylors.Nice, but as the man says, time will tell.troll
