  • Description: 1955 Old Kraftsman K-1 The Speigel owned "Old Kraftsman" trademark was branded on many Kay-built instruments from the 1930's through to the late 1960's. The instrument pictured here is an Old Kraftsman version of a Kay K-1. It's a 17" cut-away archtop built of laminate maple and spruce with white bindings and appointments. The guitar is in nearly-new condition and has just about no signs of wear anywhere it. Even its original case is super-clean. Obviously completely original, the only repairwork this guitar has ever seen was the set-up we gave it two days before these photos were taken. It plays very well, and has fine fretwork and neck angle. Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, Kluson tuners with original buttons, great looking original tailpiece and pickguard too. Chunky round neck with a nut width of a little more than 1-5/8" and a long 25.7" scale neck. With original case More photos at www.folkwaymusic.com
