Re: Identifying My Kay Mando
FWIW, my cosmetically-similar '63 Kay guitar has (or had, it's long since worn off) the identical logo on its white, screwed-on pickguard. By that point, the headstock logo was also a white painted-on affair, rather than pressed metal.
For the last 30 years it's been strung w/ electric 10's (to keep it from collapsing in any further) and has circulated thru 5 or 6 family & friends' kids that have learned to play on it. It taught me how to replace tuners, make a new nut, and re-glue the bridge & bridge plate, and I look forward to re-setting the neck when I get it back. I would re-fret but have grown accustomed to the "suspension bridge" geometry that's worn in both under and between the strings!

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
