Description: Beautiful and Rare Kay Imperial Master 17 Jumbo Archtop Guitar This is an exceptional piece. The Imperial Masters were only made for a few yrs and they were one of Kays Higher end offerings.Comes with an amazingly responsive solid spruce top and book matched flamed maple back and body.Yes there were a few years that Kay was actually producing "Cool Guitars" back then. The Master 17 inch is a true Jumbo but has a nice tight focused sound and beautiful tone. Great projection and tones are pure up and down the register with a nice sustain as well, a joy to play. She has had a neck reset, there was a hairline crack in the heel when someone became overzealous installing a strap button.But we inspected it when we did the neck reset and found it to be as solid as the day she sold.Action and intonation are spot on and frets have been leveled re-crowned and polished out. Original bone nut matches well with the modern bone bridge and gives her a great response and attack when called on. She technically is a 17" Jumbo but she was made for professionals and the notes ring crisp and clear.The celluloid headstock and the diamond fret inlays are a really nice touch along with the bound fretboard and body.She has dings and scuffs from 80 yrs of service but no cracks or structural problems, she is solid. They were made to be played and she needs a good home.Thanks for stopping in.Will ship internationally. Please check out my other listings.
