I saw that and IMMEDIATELY thought of Nick Cormier. 
Who wants a 7-string Explorer?

YES.... Let me repeat that YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEESSSSSSSSS. I missed the Strat, I'll be damned if I miss this.
The only thing I'd suggest (and think I mentioned this with the Strat design) the body needs to be more Rob. More KXK, more radical, off the wall. Like the V. Perhaps he could start with something Jackson Kelly-ish and Rob-ize it from there.
Of course, this only applies if he asking for opinions, if not, well, ignore what I just wrote.
Oh, and thanks in advance for adding the trem route....
Really....
I have to be honest, when I heard he got 12 (13?) orders I'd thought he'd be disappointed that he didn't get more. It really is different world working with the "small" builder.

This is an opportunity to break things up by doing a small run here and there of different designs. He was expecting the Sii-7 to be one of those four guitar runs, but the overwhelming demand made it a standard model.

I'm tempted to say yes, however I really want to get my hands on my SS7 first...

I keep coming back to look at the pic and imagining what mine would look like.

Reversed headstocks ftw. 
I think this guitar looks great with it too.
I think this guitar looks great with it too.Thanks to all who like and don't like this model.
This model will be made when I get caught up with orders.
A lot of people are requesting this design so I want people
to know that it will be coming up so there are no suprises.
This will be very limited but I ask that people refrain from
making orders for this till it has been made and is right. It
should be 3-4 months away from the first one being made.
I value Noddles input which is why he posted this pic. I have
not asked him to do so. I would never come on this forum to
try to make sales. That is not the KxK way.
Any improvement ideas will be taken into account.
Thanks,
Rob

As an aside, Rob, I think you'll appreciate the humor in this picture.

That guitar's fuckin' cool. It's absolutely not what I look for in a guitar, spec-wise, but even so I couldn't keep a grin off my face while holding it.

Damn, out of nowhere, I had a dream about one of these... whoo! 
Of course, in my dream, it had a hockey-stick headstock, but that's neither here nor there...
BTW, just my personal opinion, I didn't think anyone was trying to drum up sales... I just saw a neat "hey, how's this look?" post. I applaud you being a stickler for ethics though, Rob... so many examples of the other extreme, it's nice that someone does indeed worry about that kind of thing.

I would be interested in one.
...BUT...
I agree with D-EJ915 - that backside seems too round for my tastes. Just an observation. The top bass side horn stump could maybe be more pronounced.
Would he be offering mega-special-discount-super-extra ss.org prices like before?
I agree with both assessments as well.
MerlinKTD, My ill stated point was that KxK does not use this
forum for sales. I feel that the members deserve far more respect
than businesses coming on here asking people to buy "stuff".
I don't want people to think that KxK is here just to make money
by selling to the forum members.
It is important for guitar makers and players to communicate.
Good things happen that way. That is how the Sii-7 got started.
I appreciate all input to make the KxK 7 strings better and what
7 string players actually want in their guitar. Not what I want
them to be.
Noodles posted this because he, like me, cares about what
other 7 string players want. Asking is the only way to find out.
Hopefully I made my point better. I do not have communication
skills!

In the spirit of making something different, or a new twist, I think maybe the curve on the back should be more accentuated, and come up to a point, and that the lower horn should also be more curved and pronounced. More pointy parts, definitely. Maybe the top 'horn' could actually come up to a small, very sharp point.
Also, I think a design with a upward curve rather than the 'U' shaped curve might be cool, like an Ignitor style. I think that's currently my favorite body shape on the market.

I've been dying to get one.
If he can get an Original Floyd Rose on it, I'll buy it in a heart beat.
I just hope the point is more like gibson, you know on the bottom where your left hand reaches the high frets.
I hope he makes one.

Yes, especially if there was an option to have a Kahler on there, then that'd pretty much be the most awesome guitar ever.
