Kay Guitar Neck (1960s–1970s)

Vintage Kay Guitar Neck (1960s–1970s) – SG Style

A relic from the golden age of guitar craftsmanship, this vintage Kay neck is ready for restoration, reinvention, or reverent display. Originally paired with a Kay SG-style body, it likely dates from the late 1960s to early 1970s—a period when Kay was known for bold design and solid build quality.

Finished in a deep, Heritage Cherry-style gloss and adorned with the original Kay logo, this neck carries the patina of decades while retaining its structural integrity. The original tuners are still fitted (though replacement is recommended), and the heel-adjust truss rod remains fully functional.

Whether you’re rebuilding a vintage Kay, crafting a custom piece, or curating a collection, this neck offers a rare blend of character, playability, and provenance.
