Well, technically it's not new, only new to me... it is a 2008 CS KV which I bought from themisfit138, but as the condition is a straight 10/10 without any sign of wear or even dust, I don't see why I shouldn't call it "new". 
Now I finally owned the right to post in the USA section, so... straight on to the photo love story!
Biggest box I've ever received:
Thick and tight bubblewrap layers around the case:
So, not even a UPS shipment half around the world could harm the case...
... or its content, for that matter!
So, after about 8 years of searching for a guitar to satisfy my GAS for a neckthru, stringthru King V, I finally found the one!
It has poplar wings and a 25.5" maple neck with the KV2 speed neck profile, but regular jumbo frets. Pickups are a Duncan Custom Custom bridge / Jazz neck, with an EMG SPC Midboost installed; tuners are Sperzel locking tuners.
IMHO this is what the KV2T should have been. Even though the current KV2T has some interesting features, I always preferred the standard headstock and sharkfins, as well as the long scale and beveled body.
Here is the old thread from 2008... even back then I knew it was my dream guitar.
I put on a set of D'Addario EXP 10s and with a 5 minute setup job to adjust it for my liking it already plays like a dream. Sounds exceptionally nice too; especially clean sounds are brilliant and sparkly, more so than on all my other axes.
And here are more pictures I took today:
Together with its sibling, my 2003 KVX10, the one that ignited my love for KVs:
And the happy owner!
