Just be careful that you don't have someone's eye out.

Agreed.  Very nice touch!

Boring question alert:

I've always wondered how the hell they manage to drill a V body in order to have the jack socket on the opposite side from the control cavity.  Do the wires go back through the bridge pickup cavity or something  :?:

Looks damn sweet!

Was the idea to mix Kerry King's and Pat O Brian's V's?

Obligatory clips please PDT_003
I like the paint job on the heel area, classy.
Is that an EMG preamp too? Will you really need it with a Miracle Man in there???

You know what I like to say? It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye ... and then it's just plain fun!!

Been playing these guitars since 94 without any problems and I hope that it stays that way.  :wink:

I think so too... This is my first guitar with Bare Knuckle and my first with Sustainiac. I´m used to EMG 81.

Yes, I like the Beast headstock and of course the KKV body shape. That´s the only guitar I play. At first I was thinking of ordering a KKV with flames. Some specs but with flames. After some days of thinking I desided to go with this satin red/black thing but still KKV with Beast headstock. I think it turned out pretty damn well.  :D

Yes, it´s the EMG PA-2 preamp/gain booster. I use it on solos and when I use the whammy bar, gives me more sustain and shiteload of gain. Very fun thing to use.

Awesome looking guitar. I love the paintwork, looks like the old 60's Batmobile.

Really lovely looking guitar
They have made a seriously good job of that and the paintwork is superb

Why 25 frets though??

Is it like a Spinal Tap thing - one louder/one note higher ?

The reason for the 25 frets is "why not?". And easier access to fret 24. I´ll probably never use fret 25 but I sure do will use fret 24.
It took him 2 days to make this paintjob. It wasn´t as easy as one should think ´cause he´s not used to do stuff like that. He did alright.
We got a gig november 1 and I hope the guitar will get here by than...

I´ll get pics later this week and a family shoot of all 5 KKVs.
