Not sure I'd have chosen those covers for that guitar, but good pics & nice to see BKP getting good press elsewhere...

I probably wouldn't have chose those pickup covers either, but it does work and looks nice.  Great flame and colour too.

:D

I do love the look of that guitar, there's something about it.

When he first posted it on here I felt an initial !?!?? but it quickly grew on me

I wouldn't usually go for "exotic" pickup covers myself, but I think they kinda work on this one.

And yeah, great pics :D

Great pictures and the guitar looks fab but I'd have chosen different covers.

Yes indeed ;  Chrome or Nickel - decided by the existing hardware. It is a lovely bit of craftsmanship though, very 'High class'.  I would have thought an Ebony fretbord ( like Choucas09's sumptuous Eastman El-Ray ) - and matching appointments. More for sonic and tactile reasons  than purely cosmetic ones.

I like the unconventionality of the guitar and pickups, bet it sounds " Out there " too!!

It's nice to see someone doing something interesting with the singlecut guitar. A really classy piece of design. PRS should buy the design off him.

I think the covers work great.

Nice guitar too. Shame about the finish, but the top and design are cool. And, yes, great pics.

Anyone know what is under the cover between the highest two frets?

Truss rod?

Piezo?

Title: Re: Check these pics from German BKP User Thread!
Post by: MDV on January 18, 2010, 04:32:10 PM

Doubtfull its either. If its truss, it doesnt have enough access room, and piezo will normally be in the bridge.

That is an oddity, though. The specs dont show anything odd
