[sergiodeblanc]

Hey, thanks for the kind words guys!

Compare that to Henry J!

You know, I didn't really wanna go there but since you already did... yeah.

More examples of inspiration, err.. or more like emulation for this guitar.

Seriously... That was pretty badass! Who wouldn't want a guitar made by the dude?

I love this thing... It's my vision of what my "Paul's Guitar" would've looked like.

Thanks Sergio, I want a Santana standard more than ever now!

Make it happen!!! I know you know where to find one. :flute:

 

[CatStrangler]

I want the right one. Any of the above would do nicely, but I have become accustomed to certain appointments......and that does get the gears grinding.

I think Sergio has started a trend, what would your 1983 PRS be like?

There are still 3 or 4 out there that I have been able to find. I haven't been able to confirm the fingerboard radius spec on the KID/japan run. I'm hoping it is 11.5" but I suspect it is 10". I am going to send PRS an email tomorrow and find out as it usually takes some time for me to hear back from Ikebe when I send an inquiry.

Lemme know when you find out! Really curious about those.

 

[watelessness]

You had me at sweet switch washer!

bang on, Serg, bang on.

 

[Sam]

There are still 99 of these KL's floating around unmolested so go get one before there are only 98.

Too late I'm afraid...

 

[sergiodeblanc]

What the what?!?!

I gotta congratulate you and hear more about this guitar. Please tell me those are holes for LED lights... or just tell me what's up. You know I'm down!

KL Semi-hollow Limited...

I know you'll be disappointed, though it's not my fine work! :laugh: It was on eBay some years back - guy said that the holes were done to make it more resonant. It went mighty cheap (I should have bid).

Ahh...

Whoever owns this out there... I call dibs! I'll buy it cheap!

Yes, KL33 owners - take your backplates off. Never know what you might find (especially if you snagged it for SE money.) :laugh:

Don't tease me.

How long did it take him to train those termites?

By the way Serg - I gotta say I dig the legacy vibe you've come up with. Think Uncle Rico would really dig the 8̶2̶ ... umm 83. Love those old pre-factory mahogany guitars. Mystical.

 

[orourke]

I think it's a really cool idea. I'm a little dubious about that single coil adapter thing. But I love a simple non-flame, non-birds PRS, those are my favorites. I'm sure it sounds and plays amazingly. Congrats on a brilliant purchase.

Thank you. Yeah the adapter is pretty wonky lookin', but it reminds me of a few P-90 to bucker converted guitars I've seen. Not to mention it sounds freakin' great!
