1933 Kay Kraft Made Oahu Model 68b Jumbo Acoustic Guitar. 12 Fret Neck

  

FROM THE TRADE IN PILE... WHAT A GREAT LOOKING OLD GUITAR. THIS MODEL 68B LEFT THE FACTORY AS A SPANISH PLAYER.

I'M DATING THIS OFF THE ASSYMETRICAL HEADSTOCK WITH THE MOTS HEADSTOCK OVERLAY. OVERALL CONDITION IS VERY GOOD. THIS BODY HAS THE SAME DIMENSIONS AS THE GIBSON NICK LUKAS MODEL. THE TOP IS X BRACED. THE SCALE LENGTH IS 25 1/2 OR THEREABOUTS.

12 FRET NECK TO THE BODY. NUT WIDTH IS 1 7/8. THE BRIDGE AND PICKGUARD ARE NOT ORIGINAL. HAS ITS ORIGINAL GROVER TUNERS.

WONDERFUL FRETS AND FRETBOARD WITH LITTLE WEAR.... GUITAR HAS HAD SOME WORK. LOOKS LIKE THE NECK WAS RESET. I'M NOT SURE THE FRET BOARD IS ORIGINAL BUT ITS REALLY WELL DONE AND THE FRETS ARE LIKE NEW. FINISH HAS HELD UP WELL BUT IT HAS SOME CRACKING AND CRAZING AS PER AGE. THE OVERSPRAY IS WHAT CAUSED MOST OF THE CRACKING SO WE KNOW IT WAS DONE EONS AGO. HAS A SCREW IN THE TOP JUST AT THE END OF THE BRIDGE. IT DOESN'T GO TO ANYTHING SO I'M ASSUMING ITS A TONE SCREW. HAS A SIMILAR SCREW IN THE HEEL BUT I THINK THAT'S THERE TO HOLD THE HEEL CAP ON. HAVE IT STRUNG WITH 11-50 MARTIN FLEXCORE STRINGS [GUITAR IS LOUD AS HELL] AND THE ACTION IS RIGHT AT 4/32NDS.

STRUNG WITH ANY HIGHER GAUGE STRINGS WILL MAKE THE RELIEF INCREASE. I THINK AN EXPERIENCED LUTHIER COULD USE SOME COMPRESSION FRETTING ON THE FIRST SEVEN FRETS ON THIS NECK AND GET THIS OLD GIRL PERFECT, THE NECK ANGLE IS GOOD JUST THE NECK RELIEF IS TO MUCH AND IT MAKES THE ACTION HIGH. I KNOW THIS WILL CREATE SOME QUESTIONS SO PLEASE ASK THEM.

THE CASE IS A PERIOD CASE THAT IS FAUX ALLIGATOR...... PLEASE LOOK OVER THE PICTURES CAREFULLY.....
