NGD: KxK Sii-8 (Black Limba - Burl Redwood)

[fabeau]

This guitar is part of this run. I took this slot from DavidLopezJr trading it for my old KxK Sii-7.
Very briefly: the guitar is breathtaking. Super-light with the thinnest neck profile I've ever seen in an 8 string. The playability is impressive as well as sounds. I'll upload a vid as soon as possible but I need to record a clip for the SkerveTEN first

I apologise for the very short review but I am full of work these days. If there is anything you want me to elaborate more just ask.

Rob at KxK is a master when it comes to choosing timbers and perfection in craftsmanship. Its too bad he's not taking orders right now.

That thing is absolutely amazing! I can only imagine how good it actually is in person. Wow!

KxK and Blackmachine have some things in common. They both have some special stuff going on with timber selection and are both crazy good when it comes to building an insane high quality guitar. Neither will put out a guitar with flaws, they would rather scrap it and rebuild. Most importantly though, they both do literally zero promotion. Rob doesnt have nor want a Facebook account. You have got to hand it to him for that.
