Its official KV2+Kahler=Artist Similar

[AK47]

Just wanted you guys to know there is a update in the first post I think they may allow kahlers...I may have a silver sparkle in the future.

Damn what a shame. I guess I'll have to be content playing the one I already have!

I talked to Lee at GMW about getting it refinned and was suppose to send it out. Then bills piled up so I could not afford to at the time.

I heard GMW no longer refinshes guitars?

Is this true?

I believe it is, unfortunately. It sucks that you didn't get it to them earlier. Maybe Lee will make an exception?

EDIT: I actually talked to Lee about doing mine a while back, and he didn't like the fact that I wrote up all my requirements. I thought that was kind of strange.

I should just ship the guitar to lee without asking with a print out of the old E-mail of his price quote and him agreeing to it. Maybe that way he has no choice.

Good luck with that!

At one point in time Megadeth was my favorite band. But they haven't put anything good out in years (IMO). I don't know anyone who actually still listens to them.

I still listen to them, granted its slanted toward the older material. I can still remember buying the Killing is my Business casette tape.

This policy is getting weird though. You want a KV2 with a volume knob? Sorry, artist replica.

I think the larger concern is that someone will try to pass it off as "this used to belong to <given artist> and I bought it from him during his last mental breakdown".

That and when Artist Guitars are stolen, then someone shows up with a "replica"....

I do think it's sad, though, whether that's the case or not.

why are they still in Business???,all their guitars are artist similar,they might as well pull
the floyds off too,this is beyond silly

[Aaronharmon]

This is all pretty frickin stupid as far as I am concerned. It's one thing to say we can't use copyrighted images etc. Dave didn't invent the shape, or the Kahler. Next they will say that we can't have pick-ups becuase Joe Blow of "Joe Blow and and the Sucks" uses them.

It looks like an excuse to drive up prices without increasing production . Sir , you're artist similiar guitar will require custom shop building ( select production - albeit limited run ) , unfortunately the lead in time will be .............

however custom shop should start being quicker with the rampant diss-satisfaction of people's wait times . They're not gonna change but many regular people will..therefore less work = quicker turnaround time


or am I just being optimistic about the death kelly I'm preparing to order ????

I will update this thread shortly I found out they are willing to do a KV2 with Kahler but there are certain configs they wont do or cant. LSRs are one which is a good thing I think but they are out of business...

Also they will not pull old WO's anymore...
