Ken's not exactly a no name builder. He's like one of THE top bass luthiers around. That's what he's really known for.
Beat me to it
BTW....very cool of you to post these pics!
Been following bass players for over 30 years and none that I know play them. The most expensive guitars that I see these days being released are all related to Mcta$$$ica....those joke ESP 20th fiddles, KL who would not be able to charge this amount if not for yuppie boy jimz, for some reason these guys can sell water to a wino
He was making and selling guitars long before Hetfield got ahold of one. I can't say that I'd ever drop 7-8k (which apparently is what they're going for these days) on a guitar, but you definitely won't find something more finely crafted than a KL. Guitar wait times are something like 2 years, he hand builds 20-25 or so a year, and each one is 100% to customer spec. Also, to call KL a no-name, when he's been building guitars since the early 80s, is a little backwards. Just because YOU haven't heard of something doesn't make it a no-name lol. In any case, I'd love to own a KL some day, but I'm afraid I'll never be willing to spend that much money for what essentially boils down to a hobby.
