New trade day!!! thanks to tonesfoyobones

[walshula]

Just made another killer in person trade with tonesfoyobones for this absinthe frost King V for my Ian T-1000 soloist. Excellent example of a V down to the tremolo alignment, no chips on the points and flaws in the paint. Definitely worth the 3 hour road trip!!!

I am planning on sending this badboy to Mike Learn here real soon to have a pick-up filled and then have her wrapped in a suit of armor like a medieval knight unless someone here likes this green machine so much they offer me something else that I can send to him.

Thanks again tonesfoyobones for another seamless transaction.

Great score!!...I've seen that color before..LOL...What do you think of the color now???

[walshula]

The color is absolutely gorgeous. It is making me have second thoughts on sending her in to have redone but... "I have a dream" It almost makes me want to trade it for an uglier colored King V to have done instead. The color is definitely something to see to truly appreciate!!!

Thanks man!!!

Yeah it is a neat little mod to fill the hole for now. I do have the knob and pot, it was in the case. It is wired as separate volumes and no tone as of now. I plan on having that hole, the rear volume, the switch and the neck cavity filled and only have a single hum with a single volume when i have her refinished. The neck feels awesome, she has great balance, and most important the trem route is square. I have had to many USA Jacksons that the high E or low e runs off the board do to a crooked route. :think: One of the first things I look for now sad to say. You would think it would be mandatory to be straight but... I guess it isn't

I'll make sure I keep my eye out for that on the next one I pick up. That would suck!! Thankfully all three USA's I have are immaculate.

Great looking KV! Would be a shame to refin such a cool color. Probably easier to find a black one that's been gigged with and has some battle scars for your project.

+1 Keep it as is.. my opinion. This color is AMAZING!!

[leftykingv2]

I agree with the guys! The color is killer!

[walshula]

I like the color too but not my thing on a guitar really, It is in pristine condition, no dings, dents, chips or scratches. The tremolo is lined up correctly and it has a deep black ebony fingerboard so it would make a good canvas for the project I have in mind. I only collect black and white guitars so I traded the Ian for the green V because I knew I would send it out to get done and not change my mind. I talked to Mike a couple of days ago about filling the pick-up cavity and removing a couple of knobs and the blade switch and I like how he said he would do that. So in the end it would end up being a single hum king v that looks like it is wrapped in knight's armor. If anyone has a better guitar for my project I am open to offers.

And leftykingV2, I do dig the neck profile. It has a nice feel to it.

Your idea does sound cool as hell. Almost like the bolted steel Warrior look. I saw a USA version of one once and it was beautiful. One of the nicest paint jobs I've ever seen IMO. I have all kinds of guitars with "Shredder Style" necks but the "Speed Neck" is by far my most favorite all around neck I've ever played. It's perfect for chording and soloing. It's like a perfect combination of both worlds. Not too thin or too fat just right IMO.
