KxK 8-string, fanned fret V prototype COMPLETE (56K ok)

noodles · 09-28-2006, 09:44 AM

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.

NICE! Can't wait to see the review. Has he came up with other headstock designs? Also Whats going to be the price on one of these? What are the controls on this guitar?

Elysian · 09-28-2006, 09:58 AM

what are the pickups?

Thats really looks the part! I'm incredibly jealous you get to play it!

Try not to drop it

Not bad for a test mule! I wish I could get to play it.

Elysian · 09-28-2006, 10:28 AM

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

noodles · 09-28-2006, 10:31 AM

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
