  • The KV1 is finally finished!

    For real. I just got my pickup rings, backplate, and custom truss rod cover from Dave (Budman). I put everything together last night, re-wired everything with CTS pots, and here she is.





    Sorry Ron, the only full guitar shot I took came out blurry. I was going to do some outdoor shots in the fresh snow, but it's still coming down.

    Extra special thanks to Dave. The bridge pickup ring had to be custom made because it's extra thick, and Dave had never done a KV1 control cavity cover before, so he made that specially too. The truss rod cover is also very obviously custom, and IMHO looks fucking SWEET!

    The pickups are a Duncan Custom in the bridge, and '59 in the neck with covers. I think they look much cleaner like this.

    Please, no comments on my dirty carpet. That is where the cats hang out. It was vacuumed yesterday evening. Anyone with long haired cats will understand.

    Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.

      I am seriously considering selling a few of my axes to buy another KV1, but I never see them up for sale so I don't know if I should bother.

            Awesome! I love the truss rod cover. It's so much better than the block lettering you get with a place like Carvin.

            Is your carpet so dirty that it looks like a tile floor?

                  That is one sharp guitar (no pointy pun intended). You guys are killing me with all the great Vs being posted lately. I wonder if my wife would buy into the old "everybody else is doing it" rationale?

                        The guitar looks great. However... put some towels under the points when you put it on that tile floor. That pic makes me nervous.
