Ken Lawrence Guitars

[GodOfRhythm]

Especially the explorers, they are just breathtaking!


I saw a picture on the megadeth boards with a guy that had a black finished one, with an extremely awesome dragon inlay along the entire neck and the most wicked black headstock. I still prefer the good ol' Chechen top most though (Hetfield, I know, but I can't resist...)

Anyone else love these things?

Re: Ken Lawrence Guitars

Yes, they are awesome. That fellow is a member at my forums and he has three other Ken Lawrence Customs, various wood combinations. I'll try to find the pictures and post them. Eye candy to the nth degree.

Re: Ken Lawrence Guitars

I think look at once dramatic, and classy. Very cool guitars.

Re: Ken Lawrence Guitars

Yeah Germandeth I have that picture of his FOUR KL's, he is so lucky. That's approx. 28 to 30k on KL's alone!

Ken's a great bass player and mostly known for making basses and working for Mesa/Boogie's R&D department, but he does turn out some amazing guitars once in awhile, too! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: Ken Lawrence Guitars

I've been lucky enough to find some people who know em pretty well. I'm estimating it'll be about 3 years and i'll have my ultimate dream guitar, a KL Explorer, it doesn't get any better for me. [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]

Re: Ken Lawrence Guitars

I pretty much know all there is to know on Het's KL's. I have a sh*tload of pics of a Chechen KL Explorer (identical to hets, only the headstock is different due to Het's own request)

Right now it's at $6500 to $7000 for a KL Explorer. I know a guy who reserved two economy class plane tickets, flew to Canada, picked it up and had it on the seat next to him on the plane. I didn't even know they allowed this.

Re: Ken Lawrence Guitars

If something can be seatbelted, you can damn sure buy a ticket for it.

Re: Ken Lawrence Guitars

I think there was one on E-bay last week?
I think it was the guy who owns 4 of these selling one of his.

Re: Ken Lawrence Guitars

Actually, that's not true, Dinky.


I know the guy who's KL was on Ebay.

Re: Ken Lawrence Guitars

The pictures did look very familiar though.
