  • What exactly is this? King V

    This thing here is a USA KV of some type, and the guy says it's a KV1, but I thought KV1s all had Kahlers. Anyone know the deal here?

    It would be nice if there were a pic or at least a link to one. [img]/images/graemlins/poke.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

        No pics so far, but is it that one on eBay with the tunamatic / stoptail piece?
        Popular is not the same as good
        Rare is not the same as valuable
        Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

          FUCK. I laugh when people do that, and finally here I go and do it myself.

            gone now. Sweet price too.

            Anyhoo, if it's really a Mustaine sig KV-1, it woulda had a Kahler, but the guy said it was refinished, so it probably had the tuna mounted at that time (flatmount Kahler - no route)
            There's also a knob missing - should be 3 and a switch.

              I don't think it's even a KV-1.

              Let's say you replaced a Kahler flatmount with a T.O.M, wouldn't you have to recess the T.O.M, since it would be way higher than the Kahler?

              Also, the body looks kinda big too. I need to compare it to pics of a double Rhoads.

                Refinished KV1 wish the kahler route filled in and replaced with a stoptail.

                  Nope, you wouldn't have to recess the TOM, but you would have to make sure the posts/inserts were deep enough - practically surface-mounting the TOM.

                  The neck is angled back for a Kahler just as it would be for a TOM, because the Kahler saddles are about that high.

                    Aha! I'll examine it closely when it gets here.

                        Ok that was mine. Now Zeegs apparently [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I bought it the way it was. The kahlers they came with had no route. It is a Mustaine it's got his signature right next to the logo. The TOM is not surface mounted at all it's got plenty of downward travel left.

                          Hey Matt, is that black spray paint on the one side of the guitar? Was it like that when you got it? I hope some naptha will get that off. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                            Yes it is. I had a Newc moment and wanted to see what it might look like with black bevels. Like I said I had planned on getting it refinished at some point. Things don't always work out like you plan. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

                              Well, I'll probably leave it white and play it for the time being. Eventually though, I might be getting it refinished.
