Found the following information from a previous sale... The guitar was purchased new by me, removed from the case twice and played less than 15 minutes and then stored in my closet. I would recommend you have someone set it u for you if you are not able to do so, the case is from the factory as well and bought with the guitar, it is very good with the exception of a slight smudge on the top end of the case. The pictures speak to the condition of this unit..

About The Thin Twin:
The K161 Kay Thin Twin electric guitar was originally introduced in 1952 and was known as the "Jimmy Reed" or "Howlin' Wolf" model.
T Bone Burnett played a Thin Twin to back up Robert Plant and Allison Krause at the 2009 Grammy Awards.
The Thin Twin was the first guitar able to create that unique blues sound from the special Kay interior bracing that made the instrument a favorite among blues players as well as rockers of the '50s and '60s.
The Thin Twin got its name from its two blade pickups, known for their distinctive clean, sharp, sustaining sound. The Thin Twin's hollowbody chamber parallel bracing produces that gutsy, bluesy, raw sound, creating a clean, natural distortion with minimal feedback.
