By the way, Rob said he can extend the lower cutout to make fret access easier on the 27-fret guitars. I'm waiting to get a drawing from him of what mine will look like.

You need more access than it already has? :eek:

For 27 frets, yeah. The fretboard will extend down further into the body, and the last two or three frets would be more difficult to reach, as 23-24 are on the Schecter Blackjack. The bottom cutaway should end at the last fret, and it will do so on my guitar, unless some kind of construction issue pops up or something.

This guitar has the headstock shape that he will be using for 3+4 and 4+3 headstocks:

Are you sure that you want a neck wound pickup in the bridge? Bridge pickups are a lot hotter for a reason: the strings vibrate less at the bridge than at the neck. I put a neck pickup in the bridge once, and it was completely anemic--underpowered to the point of being completely unusable. If you like the '59, they do make a bridge version.

Out there, somewhere
Ok, back on to the KXK. According to the website there are 3 case options. The low end is the coffin case, the high end is the bulletproof flight case, what's the middle option like? I ask because I don't know that I want or need the flight case, but I really don't like coffin cases, they're just too emo goth wannabe for me.
