Yes, they are the active ones. Rob doesn't use that Hz garbage. Of course, you have your choice of the 81-7 or 707. If the 60-7 is available, I'm sure he can get that as well.

Are there any inlay options that dont have an extra charge? If I choose no inlays, are there still dots on the side of the neck?
Yes, there are still side dots.

Quote:
Has anyone played the 27" scale length? Can you tune it both normally and as a baritone?
I currently have the prototype in my possession, and it is tuned to Bb with a GHS 10-60 set. The plain strings were too tight for me in B. Compared to my 25.5" KxK in Bb, I would say it is punchier in the lower registers. I haven't tried it with lower tunings yet.

Quote:
Does the 999 include shipping? Also, what is the expected wait?
Shipping is not included, but I can't see it being more than about $40-50 CONUS. Only Rob can tell you the wait, because I have no idea what his workload looks like.

Quote:
What are the color options?
All solid colors are free of charge, although he is not doing white at this time (something to do with his spray rig making it difficult to get white right). You can discuss other finishes with him.

I totally forgot to whip out the tape measure, but it looks to be about 1.5". The body drops away from the middle as it goes towards the edge. You don't really miss the comfort contour.

I had seriously entertained dreams of modding my old 307, but it would have cost me as much as a KxK, or an LGM.
Modding like how? Might guve me some ideas.

Such pain, I must help...deepen it

They're on my camera, which I won't be able to unload until tonight. So yell at me, since I forgot to give Dave the cable last night.

Division - American metal that doesn't suck. Much. Even on MySpace, and Soundclick, too.

Wow, I'm getting quite eager to check this thing out this weekend. I'd definitely post my own review of it and compare to my Carvin.
