A short while back I picked up this nice old Kay. The pickups are dated to '66.

I've seen the same shaped body listed as a K-300 but the vintage was '62 and the pickups where the speed bump style commonly seen on the Speed Demon Kay.

I've found very little online for this model and I'm hopeful someone here can give me a definitive answer on what it is.

Thanks.

I think that's the Trutone (Western Auto stores!) variant of the Vanguard II.

Thanks Bo. Searching for true tone and vanguard (II) has been fruitful. It seems this style Vanguard was only made in '66 and '67, two years it seems guitar sales were awful I've come to learn.

looks like the ones Ray Mason favors. He plays 'em through Peavey Pacer amps and gets a real cool vibe.
