Had to share! Super excited to say the least. Ziricote top with an ebony board. No inlays for a "stealthy" vibe.

Totally agree. This is how I would spec one. Way jealous!

81/60

I actually really like the 81/60, have them in my Jim Root Jazzmaster.

Sharp my man. Looks sweet.

 

[Alex Stanley]

Great looking axe

I forgot to mention one of the reasons I'm going with active pick ups is for the internal routing that occurs. There will be a little more room for the battery. I can always Switch to passive later and wouldn't want some hack tech routing out wood on my KL!

Looks beautiful.

Awesome looking guitar. I'm sure this has been asked countless times along with tedious discussions about blackmachine, but why are they so expensive?
I see a lot of a quality woods & know they are constructed by hand, but the price tag is quite extraordinary for what looks like an, albeit, very well made custom explorer. There is a price even I cannot justify for an electric guitar & it falls well short of the cost of one of these.

He makes the best guitars I've ever seen in person or played. Then, on top of that he gets a premium because of his association with Hetfield. There is obviously a decent market for that

Looks great!!! I got a pic of mine the other day. I did a double take on your picture because mine is Ziricote as well

 

[bwgintegra]

Have to bump this up, been drooling over this guitar. I really think you got a great Ziricote top! What color fiber optics you getting?

81/60

Try the 85/60A combo instead if you're looking for something different. I bought that set for a LP I had 8 years ago, and liked it a lot more than the 81/60. I'm actually going to put those pickups in the LP I have now here soon.

Beautiful KL

Did you get the fiber optic fret markers?

 

[Stealthtastic]

The coolest headstocks ever

 

[Tone Monster]

White fiber optics

Oh man!!! That's sick!
