1952 Kay K-125 "Peanut" solidbody electric just in!

Kay's first true solidbody spanish electric, the K-125 aptly named "Peanut" came along as a precursor to the now famous Stratotone. It features a small, slender body built with neck-through construction (essentially one big neck with body wings glued on), a single pickup, and wooden bridge with short trapeze tailpiece. With its longer scale design and fat neck, it has a big, full tone with an impressive amount of sustain and fundamental power.

This is a rare variant of the K-125 released under the Rex brand name, which Kay built for Gretsch to market and distribute. It appears to have sat for a very long time unplayed, but in a temperate environment that didn't lend itself to degradation. The neck remains quite straight with original frets that have hardly been played, and the always cool looking firestripe celluloid pickguard material is strongly supporting the electronics, albeit with just a small amount of material breakdown below the pickup.
