Once again Keith using Lundgrens + giving the Evertune another shot.

Also this isn't a USA model. It's a Diamond series Hybrid.

Is it just the lighting or is this like a really faint sky blue?

I can’t tell if it’s just a telesto modded with the ET and lundgrens.

It's the lighting. Keith's got a lot of mood lighting in his studio. :lol:

It's a modded KM7 Hybrid.

This thread has been bad for me lately. I'm this close to grabbing another KM7 mkIII after selling my last one.

The problem now is deciding if I want to risk potentially getting a bad/boring top on an Artist, or go with the slightly less versatile pickup voicing options on the Hybrid, but knowing it'll be good cosmetically.

I love the KM fluences, so I really hope they rebrand them, but for now this is the only way to get them. Plus the mkIIIs are just too sleek and comfy.

Thinking of picking up either a banshee mach with an fr or the lambo green km. Does anyone have experience with both? I am mostly wondering if, since the specs are comparable, how similar the feel on the average model may be.

Is there any major difference between Mk II and Mk III beside pickups and looks?

Like neck shape or playability issue?

I might end up with MkII if local dealer don't have any plan to add MkIII to their inventory next year

mkiii has a thinner body with a basically flat top. mkii is thicker but more of a carved top and is way comfier imo.
Neck shapes are pretty comparable.
For the price point the mkiis are better built.

The MKIII would in theory be lighter but I feel like the bevels of the MKII would make it much more comfortable. I really like how my C7 Deluxe feels.

Plus I dig the looks more. :lol:

The MKII body feels more comfortable. The sharp horns on the MKIII are easier to damage. Every guitar weighs different, even the same model. My MKII is 14oz heavier than the MKIII. I prefer the standard locking tuners on the MKII. Pickups are the same in both. I prefer the location of the battery compartment on the MKII. Fretwork is dead even, and solid on both. Neck shape is similar, giving a slight edge to the MKII.
