1960s Kay 000-Size Rubber-Bridge Electrified Baritone-Strung Guitar

I was working on some gear for a customer and it was suggested that a "baritone, rubber-bridge, electrified acoustic" was desired. Well, boy howdy, I'd just picked-up this Kay and it has features ripe for conversion -- a longer scale, lackluster "standard" acoustic tone, a fairly comfortable neck, and ridiculous retro styling.

So, yes, after work it got the whole conversion thing -- a rubber bridge, tailpiece setup which is convenient to ground to the wiring, a twin-rails humbucker pickup in the neck position, K&K acoustic pickup, all the jazz -- and a set of baritone flatwound strings. It mics-up beautifully, too, but I think the plugged-in electric marimba-like vibe of the whole thing is the true "seal the deal" aspect of a guitar like this.

Repairs included: a neck reset (double-bolted, too), fret level/dress, replacement tuners, wiring and pickup fitting, vintage tailpiece install, rubber bridge, etc.

Condition notes: it's actually rather clean despite itself! It wasn't played all that much before it spent its life tucked-away in some closet or other after its neck joint got wonky enough for the action to get real high. Post-work, it plays spot-on but I've definitely done a bit of a number modding it, no?

It comes with: no case, sorry.
