Title: Kerry King Signature Kahler
Post by: bucketshred on December 02, 2009, 07:38:40 PM: http://www.kahlerusa.com/ecommerce/kerry_king.html

Will the Madness never end? Surely only Dimebag or Zakk Wylde has more endorsements?!

Not only are there 18(!) signature BC Rich Kerry King Guitars available (just had a quick count on the BCR website), Two MXR pedals (EQ and Q Zone), Strings and Marshall head, he now has a signature bridge. Mental.

I would like to try the JCM800KK tho, want to see how it sounds next to a normal 800.

Does it say why its different from a normal one, aside from his signature on it?

It will make you sound like a tractor. The last time I saw Slayer live he sounded like a Zetor.

The main frame in the 80s was made from brass, the modern hybrids are made from steel, I think an ali frame one would be a good contrast.

arent they tribal tattoos, which is even worse.
the amount of things endorsed by KK and ZW and Deadbag Darryl put me off wanting any of that stuff.
But im sure at the same time it appeals to all the 15 year olds that just want everything with one of their names on it.
the KK BC Richs are the worst of the bunch though, at least things like the MXR and Marshall are proper usable pieces of gear.

I wonder when hes gonna get an endorsement from a chain company the chains he rocks from his pants

Actually, I tried one & thought it was pretty decent.

The lack of an FX loop put me off buying it, but if you want a single channel high gain amp with a hotter, heavier JCM800 sound, it's worth a look.
