Its an Airline, made by Kay...

Or this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Kay-Electri ... 1|294%3A50

Either way, I would hate to see you pass up a fun project with an excellent end product. The Kay Swingmaster is fun to play and an excellent/cool looking guitar.

That's a lot of gigging BTW. The places we used to play all closed. We need to pound some pavement for sure.

I measured the length from the nut to the 12th Fret... it comes out to just under 13". X2 would be just under 26", however, when looking online... I find these ads that places the Swingmaster at 25 7/8": http://www.usedottawa.com/classified-ad/8645397
http://www.vintagesilvertones.com/forsa ... aster.html
I would agree with both as my Swingmaster is also 19 frets. I hope this helps. Please do post pics of the finished product!

1. Kay archtop with a SN# L 2300 and stamped N-3 visible through the f-holes. The guitar has a solid spruce top, laminate sides and back, sunburst, headstock with metal cursive "K" logo. The body and neck have white celluloid binding, and white truss rod cover and a pickguard with a screen printed "K" (surrounded by an art deco upside-down triangle). Rosewood fretboard has 5 pearloid dots. Supposedly from the 1950s. PHOTO:

2. Kay archtop electric with SN#: begins with L XXXX (can't remember the numbers) and a stamped 839 visible through the f-holes. The guitar has a maple top (originally with a sunburst finish), bound body and rosewood fretboard, single cutaway. Binding around body is black/white/black. The guitar appears to be a Kay Swingmaster and came with a K403 amp in the 1960 or 1961 catalog. The only variation from the 1961 Swingmaster catalog picture is the headstock... has a solitary gold decal "K" logo. The truss rod cover has a “KAY” music stand logo on it. Pearloid block inlays on fretboard, starts at 3rd fret, and 2 Kleenex box pickups.

The guitar was sold to a friend's dad over 20 years ago, and as you can see, the sunburst finish on the top was stripped to a nice maple finish, tuners replaced.

The guitar came with an amp from 1960 or 61 (a K403).

I really don't care about their worth but would love to know the year manufactured and model number/name. Can anyone clarify this based on the attached photos and descriptions? Thanks!

Jeremy
