The Kay-built 670
and 672 guitars were only slightly different from
their predecessors, the 680 and 682. The 'cheese wedge' fretboard markers
stayed on, but various minor features (bridge, headstock laminate, etc) changed,
and we've tried to detail them all in the photo galleries. The mahogany shaded
670 was the best seller of the two, and
the seldom-seen 672 is quite rare; I couldn't even find a full length shot
of a stock example to
put on this page!
Introduced: 1950
Retired: 1953
The 670/672 continued the 'Aristocrat' line into
the 1950s, listed as 'Our Best,' and varying little from the late 40s-avalable 680/682
models.
Where does the
'Aristocrat' nickname
come from?
Ya got me!
