*Kelly Custom Vintage* *These guitars have characteristics of instruments built in the 1950's. The wood is even older, vintage quality pickups, and old style lacquer give them their unique vintage feel and tone.*		Kelly Protocaster Designed from the combination of the first and second prototype electric guitars. Its powered by a single broadcaster antiquity pickup, and uses a simple volume and tone control. Made from only the oldest vintage woods in Kelly stock, the Protocaster's are limited to only a few a year. This is very rare.
