Pimptastic Purple KxK Singlecut

This started out as a prototype guitar for Zepp88s single cut, then I saw it and was all like OMGWTFBBQWCSASOT!!!! and got a hold of Rob and talked about it and was made an offer I couldn't refuse, so I thought I'd post a thread about it including the design shot with my inlay on it and some specs for what it will be like in the end.









The guitar is carved out of a single piece of mahogany and has a 26.5" scale

The specs will be as follows:
- transparent purple finish w/natural binding on body/head
- abalone eye body inlay
- abalone headstock KxK logo
- angle input jack ala UV
- blank ebony board
- Dunlop 6120 frets
- chrome hardware
- cream switch tip / speed knobs
- Graphtech Ghost piezo system
- 3 way switch, 2 volume, 1 tone, 1 piezo volume, 1 mini 3 way piezo select
- push/pull volume pots for series/parallel on neck and bridge pups
- push/push piezo volume pot for mid boost on piezo
- Creme DiMarzio PAF7 pups with magnets swapped: Alnico 8 in bridge and Alnico 5 in neck

As a side note, I've got a Dean EVO7 and a Jackson COW7 Silverburst I'll probably be selling when this is ready, so if anybody's interested in those shoot me a PM. I need to clean the EVO7 (got it shortly before my KxK arrived and never cleaned it up from the guy I bought it from) and switch the volume pot in the COW before they'd go out the door.

I blame Rob. The price he quoted me for this was just too damn good to pass up. As for the two guitars being sold, simple attrition, they're being replaced by something better in the same tonal nitch (ok this isn't as metal as the COW, but I'm just not a huge EMG fan ).

I wanted to get some PAF7's and do that exact same magnet swap. Sounds like a great combo.


That guitar is going to kick all kinds of ass.

bonerific

we should plan the pre-NAMM JAMM at Kevan's around the arrival of this guitar

I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways,
we could reverse the particle flow through the gate.
We'll cross the streams.
