Kay Hollowbody
From Stripespedia
(Redirected from Kay)
Jack White usually uses a 1950s Kay hollow-body archtop for all of his slide guitar songs, most notably "Seven Nation Army" and "Death Letter". This guitar was usually tuned to open G or open A. It was covered in paper for a long time, for "personal reasons", and it was rumored that the paper helped to stop feedback. At some point on the Icky Thump tour, the paper was removed (briefly), and part of the pickguard was cut off.
According to Jack, he recieved the Kay as payment for some upholstery work, back in his upholstery days.
