Description

The Kay Lark Junior Archtop is a semi-hollowbody electric guitar that harmonizes classic design with modern playability. This instrument is tailored for musicians who appreciate the rich tonal qualities and aesthetic charm of vintage archtop guitars while needing the versatility of a modern electric. With its laminated maple top and back, the Kay Lark Junior delivers a warm and resonant tone that is perfect for jazz, blues, and rockabilly enthusiasts.
