Hey!
Do you guys have any info about these Kay made lap steel:



I'm especially interested in data about this particular pickup, which looks "crude".

Thanks,

Vic

Here's some information on the company:

Kay primarily manufactured "department store" style, inexpensive guitars from the 1930's to the 1960's. But they also made some hi-end, quality archtop guitars. Unfortunately the lap steels definitely fall into the "department store" department. I've never been able to discover model names or dates of manufacture as I could with Fender or Gibson or other major manufacturers.
