This is a RARE model and I don't use the term Rare very often!Kay K593B Guitar with three of their big single coil pickups .....this is coolness .......Clapton started out on a guitar much like this with his first band the Roosters !But the Gold K guitars did have cool pickups. They boasted single-coil with clear silver-tinged plastic covers and Phillips-head-screw adjustable pole pieces. These pickups appeared on various Kay instruments through the late 1960s and are sometimes called “Kessel” or “Kleenex box” pickups due to their use on the company’s famed Barney Kessel model and their resemblance to a tissue container.
