You can't do a Kahler on a carved top, unless you recess it, which messes up the neck angle. That is why Kahler made a stud mounted version. Unfortunately, there is no stud mount 7+ string Kahlers.

i beg to differ.

they make an 8 as well

i have no interest in ordering one of these Singlecuts, but throwing my 2 cents in for future short runs (should there be more). i think a trem option with an upcharge is far more appealing than a figured top option

They block photobucket at my office.

So, I stand corrected it seems. I didn't know they came out with the studmount version.

It was released at the same time. I figured it was a no go since it's a bare bones run. Anyone have any pics of a flamed maple top with an oil finish? Does it make it "pop out" like lacquer does?

EDIT: Actually now that I think about it, since it is a recessed TOM, a Kahler wouldn't work at all. Would still need to be recessed unless Rob stuck a neck angle on it.

When I ordered my KxK from the first "big 12 Sii" run, I had asked Rob how he was going to get a flatmount Kahler on the radiused top? He said he'd just make a flush route so It'd be fine. It would be a pain in his dick probably to do some guitars that way and some not considering the point of the new runs are more of a "production like" simplicity with a "bang em' out" approach.

Where is the line of when these just become full out customs again?

I might be wrong, but you can get these custom, but you'd not get in on the fast turn around, low price aspect of it.

yeah, unfortunately ATM rob isnt taking any custom orders, unless thats changed over the past few days

Depending on how much the upcharge is I'd be interested in a flamed top.

eelblack2 · 05-03-2008, 10:28 PM

26.5 and yes I'd be in for the flame/quilt top at an extra surcharge.

Celiak · 05-08-2008, 04:02 PM

26.5 but I would rather it be 27". Is there a reason the single cut is better at 26.5? Or is is just a preference thing?

I would be pretty interested either way, any chance in getting some pics of what KxK singlecuts look like?
