NGD: King V

[Aso]

This just showed up today so haven't had a lot of time to play it. Pretty simple specs but the highlights are:

Masterbuilt KV

• 27" scale baritone
• Schaller Hannes bridge
• Limba neck and body

Now to go have some fun with it

[Mudlark]

Wicked. We don't see enough Jacksons without a Floyd in my opinion.
I'd love to have those Hannes on all my TOM guitars, but after pricing them + installation costs I changed my mind.
Maybe someday.

Is that logo an option on the order form?

[Johnnyryche]

Simple but classy. Congrats!

Sweet! Your other Custom V has the Hannes, too, doesn't it?

[Kisonen]

Cool! I dig the logo. What pickup you have in it? What is the tuning you use?

The guitar is Masterbuilt so I requested if they could use the gothic logo.

After Sully built me a 624 wtih a Hannes, I have been hooked on the bridge.

Yes, the green/purple KV has a Hannes. I believe these are the first and maybe only KV's with hannes bridges

It's currently tuned to B and the current pickup is a JB-5 but thinking of swapping to a Lundgren M6.

" It's currently tuned to B"

Dam we could jam, me using my 12 string baritone. Oh the lows and thump

Nice King man

JB-5? What is that? Or did you mean JB or Custom?

[x_zac10]

What's the draw of the Hannes? The feel mostly?

JB-5? What is that? Or did you mean JB or Custom?

It's just what normally comes in a King V and I am calling it wrong.

Just checked the order sheet and I am totally wrong - Seymour Duncan TB4 BLK JEFF BECK

Probably swapping to the Lundgren M6 here after a month or so.

SH-4 is the JB, SH-5 is the Custom. I hate the JB but I quite like the SH-5.

Yes I would change that JB to something else too. Or do magnet swap.

Congrats, my custom kv is also done. I will post pic later on.

That's why I'd want one. They look very comfy.

They are comfy and are pretty simple to maintain/change strings on.
