eVolution: ALL the differences between the KV1 and the KV2

[Brian]

Let's not forget that after it was the Double Rhoads but before it became the signature King V Pro/KV1, it was just the "King V" for a while. Smaller KV1 shape, but various options appeared like Kahler trems, poplar wings, 3-way switch instead of a 5-way blade, odd pickup ring sizes, 1 vol 1 tone instead of the 3 knobs, etc.

The KV was available for a long time from the custom shop prior to the release of the KV1 and KV2. Though, I don't consider those customs variations of the KV1/KV2 models.

Most of what shaped the KV1/KV2 was Mustaine's personal KV's being made for him around the mid-90's.

Wasn't the switch from the Rhoads 22 fret to the 24 fret on the KV a Mustaine inspired update as well?
