The Kay-built 670
and 672 guitars were only slightly different from
their predecessors, the 680 and 682. The 'cheese wedge' fretboard
markers stayed on, but various minor features (bridge, headstock laminate, etc)
changed, and we've tried to detail them all in the photo galleries. The mahogany
shaded 670 was the best seller of the two, and the seldom-seen 672 is quite
rare.
Introduced: 1950
Retired: 1953
The 670/672 continued the 'Aristocrat' line into
the 1950s, listed as 'Our Best,' and varying little from the late 40s-avalable 680/682
models.
Where does the
'Aristocrat' nickname
come from?
Ya got me!
