Wenge is very hard on tools, prone to splintering and it's dust is toxic.
This is a big reason why it sucks for a fretboard imo. My Ibanez SRMS805 had a splinter come out of the edge and it was a pain.

In the MK-III, the single coil is indeed like that. If you have a KM set in a MK-II, the set sounds a bit different actually. I ended up preferring voice 1 in the MK-III the best and so I pulled my KM set out of the MK-II and never modded it to have the single coil mode available. Now I'm pulling the set out of the MK-III as well just because I've moved on. lolAction was actually a bit high as I noticed the clinking sound fairly quickly and wanted to avoid that being a factor. I initially changed the strings and adjusted the truss rod, and at that point the action was about 1.3mm over 12th fret on the high side so I held off adjust the bridge at first, and left it there for a bit while I tried to figure this out. Since then I've adjusted it down to right about 1mm, which is still a little conservative for me. The clinking sound is actually quite a bit less noticeable after I lowered the action on the low E, but still fairly noticeable on the A.
Thanks for the confirmation that single coil mode always is that way. Just seemed to contradict everything people preach about fishmans.
What are you putting in place of the Fishman sets?In the MK-III, the single coil is indeed like that. If you have a KM set in a MK-II, the set sounds a bit different actually.

Either a Guitarmory Foxbat ceramic set or an Atlas set (unsure of which magnets if this option)What are you putting in place of the Fishman sets?
You can get a MK-II for that price. $1000 USD max is a good price for a new MK-1. In fact, there's a new white one for $899 on Reverb right now. I bought my brand new Lambo Orange MK-1 for like $675 on sale actually.Hey all, I'm saving up for my first 7-string guitar and weighing my options. Is a "new" (i.e. no previous owners) KM-7 MK1 for €1120 a good deal in today's 7-string market?
I'm looking for 26.5 inch scale, stainless steel frets, graphtech/bone nut. It seems to tick all the boxes. I'm struggling to come up with anything better in my budget - €1200 max.

I do recommend going for a MK-2 if you can, I find them to be much nicer guitars but in the end all 3 models are awesome. I have one MK-1, three MK-2, and one MK-3.
My badI hadn't considered going for some of them in the US - I'm in Ireland, and I'm wary of getting fucked on import tax, but if they're that low, that's lower than what I'd pay for them over here anyway.
Is it a callback to his white, maple board BRJ? Thats so hot holy shit
