This is a Kay K-152 guitar, made in the USA in the early 1950's. These were sld under various brand names, and this one mares the brand "Rex". The guitar shows play wear but remains structurally solid. The "bar" pickups in these sound great. The design is somewhat crude, but there are fantastic blues/slide guitars. This one has changed tuners but is otherwise original and has the original finish. The guitar comes with the original cardboard case which is in rough condition.
