I’m curious about the kleenex pick-ups. Most I see have exposed pole pieces, but the ones in your pics are hidden beneath the covers. Is there a significant difference? I have a 60’s Galaxy with exposed poles. I love the sound of that guitar. I’m hunting for a Titan, but am concerned the hidden poles might be lower output. The hidden pole versions seem to all be on non-trem guitars. Were the exposed pole + trem a later version? What are your thoughts on p-up output?

It can be replaced, take to any competent tech at a guitar store.

I own a Kay Titan, had it since 1969, when my mom bought it new for me, it had been a demo in the store for a time. I knew nothing about guitars, and didn’t realize the neck was starting to warp. When I learned that it had an adjustment rod, I tried to adjust and stripped it out! I still have it, but missing the bridge, nut, and pick guard front white shield is broken. Still wondering if anyone could replace the adjustment rod.

I own what appears to be the “Bass Guitar” version of the Kay Titan.
I’ve been trying to find out some info on it but, haven’t been able to find one pictured online that looks exactly like it. The electric 6 string Kay Titan in your article is the closest I’ve come to find so far. But, I’ve found NO Kay Bass guitars that have that same lower body.
Any info would be greatly appropriated.
