Nile's Karl Sanders New KxK Double Neck V

[technomancer]

Sanders has a new double neck V from KxK for the current tour. While I wouldn't want one of these myself, the finish and masking for the graphics are awesome The necks are both tuned differently as Nile apparently have a couple songs on the new album that use two different tunings in the same song.

and some live action

yay, first post!

looks insane! I like it but why are both necks the same, whats the point?

edit: one of those flods must be blocked, otherwise there is NO point at all in that guitar AFAICS...

 

[Banana Wedgie]

One neck should be the same as it is and the other neck should be baritone/7 string. Looks great though.

Cleverness.

Also, is that ANOTHER singer?

 

[drmosh]

My guess is he uses one neck for unique tunings to replicate some of the fretless stuff he did on Ithyphalic.

Holy shit, Dallas without hair. awesome, haha.
the other singer is the bassist Chris Lollis, he has a fantastic voice too

edit: well, my theory about the tunings doesn't hold up after watching that video..

The real news here is that Dallas cut his hair!

Come on Steve 6+6 =/= 7

That was why I asked you to move it The moral of the story is don't work and post at the same time kiddies

if you can't recognise him by his picking style something is wrong with you

 

[avenger]

That thing is bizzare looking, pretty cool though.

 

[Fred the Shred]

I don't get it. Why did Karl ask Rob to build him a doubleneck in which both necks are missing one string?



Jokes aside, it looks great and, judging by the vid, it seems to solve some of the very typical problems of doublenecks.

Am I the only one absolutely loving the upper fret access on the upper neck?

 

[vampiregenocide]

I'm suprised Nile haven't moved to 7s, would make more practical sense. That KxK is beautiful though.

And Dallas looks better without hair IMO. I think I'll follow suit at some point.

While I wouldn't have an use for that guitar, and it looks like it would be painful to play sitting down, its incredibly metal, just like Karl

Nile isn't quite my cup of tea and I couldn't care less for double necks, but that finish is indeed amazing! The inlay looks nice as well

It's actually a masking through the finish to the natural mahogany underneath.

And I agree completely. I would never buy myself one of these, but the work on it is awesome.

Lovin' that....although I think I'd probably snap under the weight....
