Members fuzztone Posted May 3, 2005 Members Share Posted May 3, 2005 It's a 68 Kay/Valco/Truetone "sweeper"(made with leftover parts of other guitars).Its got Barney Kessel pickups on this one. Vintage Guitar Magazine featured the same guitar in an old issue but that one had different pickups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 72 bonne Posted May 3, 2005 Members Share Posted May 3, 2005 I actually like it. My neighbor brang over his Kay bass the other day and I laughed. Apparently he tried tigtening the strings a bit much and it split the would right down the center of the neck, about a foot down. If the thing would stay in tune it wouldn't sound half bad though.

Members Bmajor Posted May 3, 2005 Members Share Posted May 3, 2005 I think that definitely qualifies as a "Jizzcaster." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
