Another, though an old one this time. I think I've even seen this one posted here before.

Is Debbie that old she wanders off all the time like a toddler... Requiring reigns?

Looks like one of these 'Old Kraftsman' made by Kay: http://craigslistvintageguitarhunt.blog ... ctric.html

Edit..
a lil more digging around and it seems the model name is 'Value Leader'...

Better pics:

Hand built in super small numbers . Never played one but told they are totally worth the money.

All I know is the guy I bought my Telemaster from sold it to raise money for a p-90 one.

Kauer makes some great stuff, but it ain't cheap!

For some reason when I hear Kauer, Potvin, Fano or Rist guitars with all the right tonewoods, I can think only about this

I guess the reason is their prices

You would have to wash the cobwebs off it first.

Nah, I've not quite got to the point of fancying Granny's, yet.
Just saying you got to admire her.

I sold 16 finger picks to a runner today, destined for this guy.

Unless of course there is a second guitarist which is a possibility.

Co-founding/co-writing guitarist Chris Stein (who also gave Debbie several ones back when it mattered) is known for his fingerpicking as he was a big John Fahey fan, so they were probably for him. That guy in the picture is an auxiliary hired gun from the last few years, hence his silly hair and Jazzmaster-shaped SG.
