[quote name='Bassassin' post='249499' date='Jul 28 2008, 12:27 PM']If it's the same as the two I've had (natural finish) it's not ply - these are made of unidentified, heavy-as-lead solid timber, "sandwich" construction like 60s Les Pauls & lots of JapCrap.
I've always thought one of these bodies would make a good basis for a project - but I doubt the Fender neck would be a straight fit. The Kay pocket is squarer at the back than a Fender, and will probably have metric dimensions. I think a Fender heel's 2.5" at its widest, I'm guessing some widening or shimming of the pocket would be necessary. I would not modify the neck - you might want to use that in something else one day.
The Kay body will be drilled for a 6-hole neckplate too - you'll have to fill & re-drill if you don't have the original plate.
