Kay C-1

Greetings

I am in the process of finishing a restoration started by someone else on a Kay C-1, Serial 44947. Unfortunately the finish was already stripped when I got it, so don't know the original color. I believe that it is 1961 or 1962. Anyone confirm that? Also, is there information available that would define what the original color was? I am intending to go for Blonde just by my own preference... but interested in others' opinions.

Thanks

Mike

This Kay Bass Information and Registration might help with the date. Not sure about the color though.
