Here’s a gem from the golden age of Chicago-made guitars: an all-solid-wood Kay L8198, built in the late ’50s or early ’60s. With its ladder-braced top, warm woody voice, and that unmistakable Kay character, it’s the kind of guitar that oozes vintage charm.
🔹 All-solid construction
🔹 Classic Kay headstock & tortoise pickguard
🔹 Highish action (great for slide players!)
🔹 Includes the original alligator case 🐊
These were working-class guitars back in the day, but today they’re prized for their vibe, tone, and cool factor. Whether you want a blues box, a slide machine, or just a piece of mid-century guitar history, this one’s ready for its next chapter.
