Kay Reissue BARNEY KESSEL Pro K1700V Originating in 1954, eventually becoming the Barney Kessel Pro, this was the first of three Gold “K” Series Signature Guitars. At 13” wide, this powerful instrument was created with Singers and Songwriters in mind. The K1700V Pro is the smallest of the three but surprisingly packs the greatest punch. The Kay Guitar Company has reissued the Pro and recreated this unique instrument that appeals to the “vintage” player as well as today’s demanding modern performer. Custom fit wood hard-shell case is included with this purchase ($249. 00 Value) About This Guitar: This guitar features a comfortable sized body. . . 13" wide. Short 24 3/4" scale for fast fingering and easy playing. . . same electronic equipment as the Jazz Special and Artist. Semi-solid construction assures "solid body" ruggedness and "acoustical guitar" response and tone quality.

Bad
Guitar had a dark mark on pick guard. Headstock had a dark spot on it. Finish was subpar. Came packaged with guitar case banging around in a single box with No packaging material. Intonation was all over the place. Strings buzzing at 10th, 12th, and 14th fret. Have seen better quality control on much cheaper guitars. Guitar label said blonde which I ordered came with the much cheaper tobacco Burst finish. Pickups sound tinny weak and cheap. Cannot recommend.

Beautiful guitar and plays very well
Absolutely love the design. The neck is a bit smaller than my other guitars, but surprisingly it helps me not have to move as much for changing notes.
