The price is very reasonable to me, costing a little under $1600. I believe Rob now posts prices for his guitars on the KXKguitars.com website.

As for the pickup's...I had my 7 set up with 2 emg 707's, i switched out the bridge pos. for an 81-7 and its much better (IMO) I think that the 707 is based on the 85 and the 81-7 on the 81 (duh) so you can use that as a reference.

Looking great! The skull inlays with the exposed abalone brains are great! Not quite my thing, but very cool and unique. I personally think it would have looked better with a 4+3 tuner arrangement instead of running five tuners down the top of the headstock. Just a matter of personal taste, i suppose.

You are gonna love that SOOO much when it's finished !

Wow, you're really killing me, man. He's got my fretboard and inlays cut, but that's the last I heard. I need to drop him a line and ask him if he's got any more pics for me yet.

Here's mine (so far): http://www.kxkguitars.com/DE2005. I can't wait to get it in my hands!

Basecoat looks great man. I would have personally left it natural finish, but nonetheless, beautiful guitar.

I like where that builder puts the jacks, on the back out of the way.

Nice... My build started in the end of May, so it takes time. I know he is pretty busy building a lot of custom orders, so my pics took some time to get updated as well but that's no big deal to me.

Rob had to custom design a lot of things on my guitar, especially the placement of the electronics since I wanted the pickup selector close to the strings like my EB Petrucci.

Hmmm, there seems to be something missing from your guitar, Noodles.

Hey, the silver bevels are done. Sweet *looking at page*.

 

[7slinger]

killer V, and I really like the inlays, cool idea

 

[Pauly]

I get one with an ebony board, no inlays and a cool colour scheme that I haven't thought of yet lol.
