NGD (KxK content, huge pics)

TomAwesome · 04-02-2011, 11:42 PM

This KxK Sii-7 is from the FB run a couple years ago. I finally got it last month, and since I had some time and good light the other day, I figured it was time to share.

Pretty standard Sii-7 specs:

27" scale
Maple neck-thru
Mahogany wings
Ebony fretboard
Crunchlab/Liquifire
RED!

I haven't played enough high end guitars to make any meaningful comparisons, but this is a really outstanding axe. The fretwork is great, the neck is comfy and smooth, the weight is hefty but comfortable, and the strings ring out loudly and clearly, even acoustically. Plus, it's damn nice to look at. Speaking of which, nobody opened this thread wanting to read much of my opinion. On to the pics! Anything that looks like a flaw is just dirt or grease that I didn't notice until later.

DAMN dude!

scherzo1928 · 04-02-2011, 11:59 PM

even the truss rod cover looks cool.

Sebastian · 04-03-2011, 12:06 AM

Amazing! and what a great color/finish!

Quitty · 04-03-2011, 12:11 AM

I'm drooling here. Looks DAMN fine.

Pardon the odd question, but are there any 'unique' design elements for your, or KxKs guitars? Anything not found on other custom instruments.

brutalwizard · 04-03-2011, 01:02 AM

amazing!!!

PyramidSmasher · 04-03-2011, 02:00 AM

Man these always impress me.

leonardo7 · 04-03-2011, 02:59 AM

That is one of the most awesome colored KxKs Ive ever seen. I really like the color alot. That thing is awesome!!!

ZeroS1gnol · 04-03-2011, 03:26 AM

That's a good looking guitar

Prydogga · 04-03-2011, 03:32 AM

Tom! It feels like ages since I've seen you post! Congrats on the new guitar, looks amazing!

kruneh · 04-03-2011, 03:42 AM

More KxKs

A very clean looking guitar, love that satin finish!
Congrats!!

ShadyDavey · 04-03-2011, 05:05 AM

Subdued, and tasty - makes me almost wish I had taken Fred up on his offer of a swap last year

adrock · 04-03-2011, 08:07 AM

siiick guitar!! I love the color

SamSam · 04-03-2011, 08:13 AM

Hey dude! Glad you have it in your hands now. I got mine on Tuesday but I flew out two hours after it arrived. I'll get some photos up tomorrow!

HighGain510 · 04-03-2011, 08:36 AM

That finish is outstanding Tom! Congrats man!

SirMyghin · 04-03-2011, 09:08 AM

Liking the finish.

I have noticed these guitars seem to have 2 transition points of finish on the neck, colour and clear, any idea why? (Noticed it on Techno's guitar too).

Blazerok · 04-03-2011, 09:11 AM

The back of the neck looks very comfortable. definitely one of the nicer unpainted neck on neck through guitars i have seen!

congrats on the new axe!

SamSam · 04-03-2011, 09:11 AM

That's end of the clear coat. The neck itself is oiled.

djpharoah · 04-03-2011, 09:53 AM

TOM

Congrats brother - glad you finally got it. It looks awesome

kmanick · 04-03-2011, 10:08 AM

Very cool and unique looking!
if it plays anywhere near as good as it looks(and we know it does) you've got a killer axe there
congrats!

Maggai · 04-03-2011, 10:14 AM

Ah KxK gas!! Again...... That is one sweet guitar. Absolutely flawless.

Speculum Speculorum · 04-03-2011, 10:41 AM

That is a really unique red stain. The mix of cherry and brick red actually looks really killer. Awesome, but definitely not helping with my desire for a KxK guitar! DAH!

technomancer · 04-03-2011, 11:01 AM

Awesome guitar, congrats

I love KxK's stains they always look so cool on mahogany/maple combos like that

It's the little things on KxKs that I love so much, like the recessed angled output jack instead of a metal plate slapped on the side of the body, the hidden fret ends, recessed strap locks, sperzel locking tuners, graphtech nuts

blister7321 · 04-03-2011, 11:14 AM

that thing is amazing my only issue with kxk is that they dont paint the necks alot of the time but even i can forgive that on this one

congrats
