Kay-48 Mandolin (no case)-This instrument is not in an a playable condition & is being sold for parts. It came to us full of grass/dirt & most likely spent part of it's existence in an outdoor storage. The instrument was cleaned, examined & new (.008) strings were put on it.
The result of our examination is as follows: The neck is warped, the tuners are seized & the buttons are shrinking & will need to be replaced. It once had an electric De Armond pick-up as evidenced by the type of holes & outline. In it's day it was played often, woods are solid.
This item is a good candidate for teaching mandolin building, parts or a winter time re-build project. It would certainly make a great decoration in a upscale cafe.
