1930’s kay Kraft

November 17, 2022

These 1930’s Kay Kraft guitars are odd ducks and I love ‘em. This one had some ‘interesting’ work done prior that needed a bit of cleaning up plus a bow in the neck that required a refret with compression fretting to fix.

Above: Bow in the neck without string tension before the refret and no bow in the neck after the refret with string tension.

Below: Cleaning up some sloppy work with a simple patch with matching grain lines. It was decided to leave the fret dot at the 10th position out of respect for the French.

And another satisfied customer with a cool guitar never gets old for me. Thanks George!
