Guy has been very helpful in answering questions, but he can't verify the make or that it is definitely MIJ. Looks solid enough, passive with brass nut and bridge. Can anyone ID it?

FlatEric Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 John, Hi. It's a Kay. I had two of them, at one time - surprisingly good. Can suffer from Bridge "Bottom out" - mine didn't. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of the wood colouring. Were they MIJ? I have my eye on this and a mates Shergold marathon for £50 more. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 They were Korean made Corts. IMHO it's probably overpriced - you could pick up a Thunder 1A for considerably less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerboy Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 There was one of these in my local second-hand shop for £149 recently. Seems to have sold now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
