{"product_id":"kay-speed-demon-sunburst-usa-1966","title":"Kay Speed Demon - USA 1966","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKay built guitars in Chicago for decades, and the Speed Demon is one of the best-loved shapes from the 1960s. It’s a slim, stylish thinline with a single f-hole, a sharp single cutaway and a cream pickguard that sets off the sunburst finish. Its looks are a big part of the appeal, but the sound is why these have such a following.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThree pickups and a bank of controls give it a lot of tonal range. It’s raw, twangy, a little gritty and full of character, in a way that suits blues, garage, surf and rockabilly. It’s also very playable. The body is light, the neck is slim and quick, and the semi-hollow construction gives it a lively, woody resonance that you can hear even before you plug in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe sunburst glows nicely from front to back, running from amber in the centre to dark edges, with black binding to finish it. The distinctive headstock has a triangular plate and cream tuner buttons, and a trapeze-style tailpiece keeps the strings anchored. It comes in what appears to be its original hard case, with a red plush interior that suits the guitar perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGuitars like this sit in a space where vintage style and everyday playability meet, without carrying the price tag of the better-known American brands from the same period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWeight: 3.22kg \/ 7.11lb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAction at 1st Fret: 0.5mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAction at 12th Fret: 2.0mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNeck Depth at 1st Fret: 22.89mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNut Width: 42.49mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWidth at 12th Fret: 53.56mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMaker: Kay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eModel: Speed Demon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eYear: 1966\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMade In: USA (Chicago)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSerial Number: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eColour: Sunburst\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBody: Semi-hollow thinline with single f-hole\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePickups: Three\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTuners: Cream button\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTailpiece: Trapeze\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCase: Original hardshell\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67807342395545,"sku":"26235","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/1905\/6012\/files\/26235_01_edited.png?v=1793160194","url":"https:\/\/www.premierguitars.com.au\/products\/kay-speed-demon-sunburst-usa-1966","provider":"Premier Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
