The BlacKat Guitars thread

[JamesM]

No one ordered this one, somehow I feel it will find new home fast:

Body - Sapele with Burled Poplar top
Neck - 5 piece flame maple/walnut/maple/walnut/flame maple
Fretboard - ebony with cat paw inlay
Binding - full black binding on body, fretboard and headstock
Pickups - Bare Knuckle Aftermaths in Tyger covers
Hardware - Hipshot bridge, locking tuners, o-ring knobs, Graphtech black tusq nut, Dunlop Straploks, custom CTS/Bare Knuckle pots, Schaller switch with our proprietary wiring
Finish - transparent light teal - highgloss front, satin back
Case - Hiscox Hardcase made in UK

Plays incredible, definitely has some mojo that makes me want to keep it as ehm "demo guitar", but I can't keep all goodies for myself. It is reserved for a video demo by my friend, after that it is free to go:
prices including all goodies and insured UPS shipping. For other locations just ask.
2150 € - in European Union
2500 $ - shipped to USA

Oh my goooooood

I Confirm, really busy!

I hate it when guitar builders use private life turmoil as excuse for delays. So here are some progress pics:

You should sell some BK t-shirts, i would love to have one (and many here too)

Congrats Tom.
I guess we can expect a new BlacKat prototype model named after the baby coming soon

We've sent Leon S7 with burled top for playthrough to Ola Englund. Check it out:

It does chug !

 

[dirtool]

do blackat offer other wood opinion, such as wenge, black limba, etc?

 

[ThatBeardGuy]

If you get a maple fretboard and get the cat paw inlay, is the inlay still white or do you use a darker inlay material so it stands out more?

 

[BlacKat Guitars]

Never thought about it as no one ordered maple fretboard so far . We can do both I guess. For birdseye maple I would go with no inlay, love clean maple boards...

Congrats on the babby! DOES SHE DJENT AHAHAHA[is murdered]

Today's update:

 

[jephjacques]

Damn, the white binding really sets off that purple top. I think I'm gonna have to order a guitar from you guys sometime this year.

 

[FAiRLiGHT]

The blue one is stunning, i like the black binding and the natural finish of the back

It give me some ideas for my next blackat (but first i need to find some crazy top wood)
