KxK Sii-8 8 Scale photo thread

Hauschild · 03-11-2012, 08:25 AM

Hi Everyone

So in my Dæmoness' build thread I promised a batch of photos of my KxK.
Without further ado - here they are.

Enjoy

Hauschild · 03-11-2012, 08:26 AM

Continued...

This one has seems to have gotten overexposed on the red (at least on my screen). Didn't look that way in the original photo

I got this guitar last summer but never got around to do a proper NGD for it. I'm sorry about but I hope this makes up for it

These are the specs:

Mahogany neck
Mahogany body
Ziricote fretboard
Figured bubinga top and headstock overlay
Semi-hollow construction without f-hole
Right handed
20" radius fretboard
Sperzel locking tuners
Dunlop flush mount strap locks
24 Dunlop 6000 frets
Carve 2
Reverse inline headstock
Oiled neck and body
Black hardware
The pickups are hand wound by Rob and are based on the BKP Painkiller

The photos are curtesy of the bass player in my band Piqaia

technomancer · 03-11-2012, 08:30 AM

Absolutely LOVE the fretboard / bubinga top combo on this

Kwampis · 03-11-2012, 09:08 AM

Second on loving the fretboard. What are the scales on this?

zappatton2 · 03-11-2012, 09:14 AM

Before I scrolled down to the specs, I just knew that fingerboard had to be ziricote. I love the way that wood bleeds between two entirely unique colourations. Beautiful guitar!

thepylestory · 03-11-2012, 09:50 AM

....in......goo in my pants. that guitar is beautiful. all these kxk threads are killin me, this included.

nickable · 03-11-2012, 10:02 AM

beautiful instrument you have there!

scherzo1928 · 03-11-2012, 10:06 AM

Somebody seems to reeeaaally like bubinga!

Not blaming you... It's a beauty.

halogen8 · 03-11-2012, 10:08 AM

Wow beautiful guitar, congrats!

JUGGARNAUT · 03-11-2012, 10:35 AM

Stunning.........

kruneh · 03-11-2012, 10:58 AM

Beautiful, I love it!
Some very sweet pieces of wood there.
I´m starting to look into bubinga after seeing your pics Hauschild, both this and the Dæmoness.

Can´t wait to see more of these popping up.

DoomJazz · 03-11-2012, 11:02 AM

Looks like it plays incredibly well

myrtorp · 03-11-2012, 12:51 PM

Super duper mega sexy!
I love that fretboard!

Hauschild · 03-11-2012, 01:08 PM

Thanks a lot guys!

Kwampis, the scale is 25.5"-28". It ensures sweetness on the high strings while tightening up the lower strings, yet it's not too much to make it uncomfortable to play (to me at least).

scherzo1928, well, it's a wonderful wood and the amazing piece at gilmer that went into the Dæmoness was just too beautiful to pass up

DoomJazz, it plays better than any other guitar I've tried, however, I haven't gotten my Dæmoness yet... curious to see how they compare playability wise (as well as tonally of course).

Uncreative123 · 03-11-2012, 01:14 PM

wowwwwwwwww.......

mphsc · 03-11-2012, 01:34 PM

That is a winner fo sho. You got lucky as Rob has sworn off 8's.

Beautiful guitar.

elq · 03-11-2012, 03:21 PM

mental note: Tell Rob I want an oil finish on my scale 7 (and possibly the 8 too)

Hauschild · 03-11-2012, 03:42 PM

Yeah, the oil finish is really sweet. Very smooth and allows the guitar to feel really natural with the grain felt through the finish

I make sure to feed the back of the neck with some oil from time to time. Just like you would with the fingerboard.

Hollowway · 03-11-2012, 06:25 PM

I just woke up from a dream...

WesleyG · 03-12-2012, 12:28 PM

Holy crap...that heel. mmmm

Hauschild · 03-12-2012, 12:44 PM

Yeah, that heel is unreal (and it rhymes!). I can get my thumb comfortably all the way up under the 21st fret before the heel starts!
