1980s Kay K-45 Rifle Guitar all original

1980s Kay K45 rifle guitar. Rare. These amazing little uitars were only made for 1 year, made in 1981 as travel guitars being small and compact; also known as the "rifle" guitar and in the USA as the "Austin Hatchet". It is made of solid wood with an inlaid stripe of maple; running from the top of the headstock to the bottom of the guitar body on the back and also on the front. There ar two fantastic DiMarzio open humbucker pickups with cream surrounds; with two volume controls (one knob is a replacement but of the exact type) and a master tone control plus a three-way pickup selector switch and an "out of phase" switch. There is an inset strap at the back with brass fitting plus brass inset holes for string threading. The neck is a through neck with a twenty-two fret fretboard an unusual triple dot markers. The nut is in brass and the truss rod cover which has the "K" logo - and the headstock has a great shape and holds the mini Grover style tuners. This is a quality guitar; very rare to find nowadays and it has a great look and a great sound.
