KV2 transparent red or amber?

[LEOKV2]

I've seen a trans green and a blue KV-2, but I've never seen a trans red or amber sunburst one, are they not that common? Any pix?

P.S. I mean KV-2, the regular model you can get at a store, not any custom, import, or whatever, just KV-2's.

You have seen a trans green KV2?
May I politely ask you for a link to the pics of it?

And I haven't found any pics of trans red or amber sunburst KV's either on my harddrive. Except my own amber sunburst KVX10, but you didn't ask for that one.

I've seen KV imports in cherry burst - I'm sure you'll find pictures of them online. A crowd in the UK were selling them by the bucket-load. But I don't think I've seen a KV2 in trans red. I guess they look quite like the trans. red RR, rather than trans. red KV2T (which is trans. mahogany rather than having a trans. maple top)?

I know you love your TG Jacksons. I thought I had a picture of a KV2 in TG, but I just have an RR1T, SL2 and a picture of an SLATQH (which, I believe, belonged to someone here).

I may have some pics of trans color KVs. If not, I know I have a couple rhoads pics with those colors. Shoot me your email and I'll send them to you.

Thanks for the pics, ken! You rock!!!

Hi Johnny, you already sent me an email with pics before, but the only KV-2's were a trans green, a trans blue and the other pics were from imports and a couple custom shops I think, that's why I'm asking again. Thanks anyway

I just looked through my files again. You're right about the KV pics but I do have pics of an amber burst, cherry burst and burnt cherry burst rhoads if that helps. Let me know.

So, my guess is that a trans red KV-2 is fairly rare, if not, impossible?

Definitely not impossible. Trans red KV2s are out there - just need to look. Here's a couple I found with a couple minutes of surfing. Not the best pics but but you get the idea.

You could always contact one of our dealer sponsors and they would be able to check the current Jackson inventory for you. They might even be able to get you some better pics.

Johhny:

The one at Ed Roman's (iwantguitars.com) is not a KV-2 Jackson.

The one at the Japanese page can't be enlarged, it's just an avatar picture.

Have you guys checked the gallery out? Some lucky bastige has an amber burst kv-2, looks pretty sweet:

[LEOKV2]

Yep, saw that one, BUT, he swapped the hardware for black. I need to see totally standard KV-2's in trans red, amber, etc.

I've got a trans red KV2. It's beautiful. Sorry no pics at this time.

I have a trans green KV-2. Got it on Ebay a little while ago.

Guess you didn't really look that good, then. Pictures show it with original chrome hardware as well as the much improved black:
