I think the scale length plays more into than the wings, although I can hear a touch more warmth in mine, a little more snap in his.

Oh yeah, that's true. I was just pointing out that, whatever type and source of mahogany that Rob uses, it looks great and doesn't need to be covered up with paint.

In the future, I can see getting an all-mahogany custom Sii-7. And I would definitely get a clear finish, though not an oil finish on a guitar with a mahogany neck.

Anyone have a picture of a carved top KXK?

Also are the passive sized blackouts an option?

Rob uses the standard sized Blackouts, so you can take advantage of active pickups in a universal pickup route:

Ya i read that, just wondering if the other phase blackouts were an option at all. Id probably be sold on one if so...

That sucks, but that radiused V is going to rule all.

now i'm confused

. by "standard", i'm assuming noodles meant "passive" sized, which is what you asked for...

According to Dave, the only Blackouts on these guitars will be the passive sized ones. It makes it easier on Rob to get these guitars out if here only has to do one route size.
