KxK 8-string, fanned fret V prototype COMPLETE (56K ok)
Rob just finished up the prototype, and he said it plays great. Now that he knows how the design works, he'll be designing a new bridge plate to replace this one. Since this is a prototype that he'll be experimenting with, he just gave a simple oil finish. At some point, he'll be sending it out my way to test out. Look for a full review at some point.

what is the neck profile supposed to be like? i think the asymmetrical like i did on my V would be ideal for an 8, but i'll find out when i build one i guess

Not sure yet, but rounder than mine (mine is slightly flat in the middle), with soft sholders. I'll have to see when it gets here.

Very cool! I don't like the fanned frets look, I prefer the way Dino's Ibanez 8 looks... but i bet thats a class instrument right there. I'd consider getting an 8-string V from him
