Kay Double Cut Through Neck 70 or 80s

Kay Double Cut Through Neck 70 or 80s Kay Double Cut Through Neck 70 or 80s Electric Guitars

This one I'd rather keep so i'll see how the interest is :-) This is a rare early- 70s or 80s Kay Double Cut (similar but maybe a bit more rounded than a Gibson Les Paul Double Cut) with Through-Neck construction.

Most likely Korean build quality but happy for someone to tell me it's actually Japan.

Brass nut, bridge and even the truss rod cover.

Some information I found on line -
'A stunning and very hard-to-find Kay double-cutaway from the early 1980s, built in Korea during the famed Cort-factory period. These MIJ-style MK-era Korean builds are known for exceptional craftsmanship, and this one is no exception: neck-through construction, brass hardware throughout, an ebony fingerboard, and a natural finish that really shows off the multi-ply maple/walnut laminations.

This is a serious player’s guitar disguised as a rare collectible—high output zebra humbuckers, string-through body, and the kind of singing sustain only a thru-neck, brass-loaded build can deliver. Alongside the 3-way pickup selector, a dedicated phase-switch adds extra tonal options for cutting, funky, or hollowed tones.

Completely original, exceptionally clean, and showing some playwear. Amazing condition concidering its age.

Some Specs;

Maple double-cutaway body w/ walnut stripes
5-piece maple/walnut neck-through construction
Ebony fingerboard w/ triple brass dot inlays
21 medium-jumbo frets (excellent condition)
24 ¾" scale, 12" radius
2× original high-output humbuckers (zebra)
Hardtail brass bridge + brass nut and saddles
Chrome tuners
Controls: 2× Volume, 2× Tone
3-way mini-switch (pickup selection)
2-way mini-switch (phase inversion)
Natural gloss finish

More photos on request - ideally collection but can meet in Dublin D15 area.
