***PICS*** The "KING" is in the house & I have pics

[Hamner1]

Well I've been lamenting/complaining for a while now that I needed to bring the KV Pro home. Today was the day. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

I have been playing it for the last 3 hours and it plays great. Definately the best import I have ever played.

Some info since it has been awhile.
Serial # J401755
Kahler APM3110 bridge, 2-volume, 1-tone, 3-way balde switch, Sharkfin inlays, pickups (lawrence XL500 & Jackson J92), neck & headstock binding, neckthru construction, black finish.

As stated this thing plays great & screams meeeeedly meeeeeee, but I think she needs some EMGs. It will be an 81 bridge & 89 neck. This neck is thin & fast, eventually it will be strung up with 9-46 guage strings. Good times! Just click on my webpage (in my signature) to see the pics.

Dude that is definately a great score! I have # J302189 and it is my favorite guitar even over my USA Soloist. That EMG 81 in the bridge will sound HUGE I have 81/85 in mine and love it! CONGRATS!!!!!!!! Pics soon!

Re: ***PICS*** The "KING" is in the house & I have pics

Thanks guys. Man the frets on the King are frickin narrow. I do not think i have seen frets that narrow before. I am certainly anxious to get the EMGs on this beast. [img]graemlins/drool2.gif[/img]

Damn the Jackson pickup has loads of gain, It comes very close to clipping the preamp in my rack. [img]graemlins/idea2.gif[/img] When I do the swap I may just put the Jackson pickup in the Stealth and the Lawrence XL500 in the Charvette. Who knows we shall see.

On a side note, is there anyway to clean up the binding. Maybe I am just an idiot. The binding is a cream color, I thought maybe when it was new the binding was white, and I certainly would like to have the binding white. If not hey the guitar still kicks butt.

That's not a king, THIS is a king!

There's one of your so-called Crosby kings hanging in the GC in Arlington. Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time. [img]graemlins/evilimages/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Oh yeah, I should point out just in case anyone gets pissed or anything that if I had the money it sure as hell wouldn't be left hanging in a GC for very long. [img]graemlins/drool2.gif[/img]

Ouch Sid beats down Hamner1. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Ok I will concede that yes you have the "KING" Sid. [img]graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]
I was refering to the name King V Pro (just shortened it up = the King). Basically I just give names to my guitars that work for me and are not to innovative (kind of like my playing [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] ) examples: DXMG = the Dinky, Hamer Sunburst-Archtop = the Purpleburst, King V Pro = the King

Taunting... hey this could get ugly

Re: ***PICS*** The &quot;KING&quot; is in the house &amp; I have pics

Well I have enjoyed the guitar, infact the DXMG & the Hamer have not been used since I got this guitar. Well I seem to have a slight problem with some of my pics. My webpage has the pic of the whole guitar, but I also took some closeups & scanned them all to 1 picture, but my page will not upload the pic. [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img]

If anyone can host the pic I will e-mail it to you.

I'm pretty sure the binding is cream from the beginning. I like it.

Re: ***PICS*** The &quot;KING&quot; is in the house &amp; I have pics

Sorry guys I didn't mention the link in my previous post. I tried to get the pic to show up in the post and it didn't, but the link is there and will show the picture in a new window without having to go to my webpage. As soon as I can get the other pics loaded I will post those links as well.

Hey thanks Word. I should have thought that about the binding, but I am brain-dead some days. I just like the look of white binding, but hey its got binding and that is the most important thing (as far as asthetics).
