Vintage 1960’s ORPHEUM Archtop Electric Guitar KAY AIRLINE

7th November 2008

Disregard the poor sound quality and playing.

I don’t really know much about Orpheum guitars. It’s American, from the 50’s or 60’s, and well made. Originally would have had Klusons and no pickup. Spruce top, checkered binding. Has an added 1960’s Dearmond pickup. Nice guitars, plays well.
