Vintage Kay Upbeat Model 8990 with Case

Description

Vintage Kay Upbeat Model 8990 – Professionally Set Up, Great Player + Original Case

This vintage Kay Upbeat model 8990 has been professionally set up and plays wonderfully. The bridge has been replaced, and the neck received work in the past, but everything is solid, stable, and performing as it should.

Cosmetically, it shows light dings and finish checking typical for its age, but the guitar remains in overall good condition. The body has no cracks, the binding is intact, and the neck and frets are in healthy shape with plenty of life left.

The electronics have been tested and the pickups sound fantastic. The original case is included.
