2800 may be the MSRP, but any GOOD dealer will work from MAP. Most KV2's retail around 1,899 give or take a few bills, but doing better than 2800 should not be difficult at all..

Well I took a look at the KV2's and did a bit of research and I guess all the parts and shit I named off WAS a KV2 hahaha. So I'll save myself a few thousand and get a KV2 I guess. There bloody nice guitars.
Expensive though. How much did you get your's for?

Thanks, I love it!! Am having abit of a time adjusting to the EMG`s, they do sound great, but seem to lack some top end, I`m experimenting with some things to try and solve that issue.

Go to your local music store and negotiate a cash deal. Retail is much better than the MSRP!!

SDB is right about the custom shop. Just for grins and giggles a few months back , I submitted a custom build to Jackson and ESP. Both were over 4 grand and the only difference between what I submitted and what I now have was the pickups and the fingerboard. I opted ,then, for the Duncan Distortion and the Duncan Hotrails, with an Maple fingerboard. Jackson actually came in slightly cheaper than ESP. But both listed nearly a year before delivery.
As for binding, as mentioned ,strictly cosmetic, but it does enhance the look of the neck.
So far, I like the EMG`s, very high output, not a high as in distortion type of output, but in signal strength.
As far the Kahler, good units, but I`m addicted to the Floyds after all these years.

I'm gonna get a through neck body, 81/85 EMG combo (still not sure about that), might get that EMG EXP or whatever the fuck it's called EQ switch, 24(it's not a real guitar unless it's got 24!!!) fret maple neck (ebony fretboard), alder body I think, sharkfin inlays (just cause I like them a little more), a 2300 Kahler Tremolo system most likely (still looking into different ones like classic Floyd's too), solid black paint job and chrome hardwear. Oh yeah it's a King V too haha.
Basically it'll look like this, with hardwear, knobs, and pickup differences. But this is the basic idea:

Joe
SDB is right about the custom shop. Just for grins and giggles a few months back , I submitted a custom build to Jackson and ESP. Both were over 4 grand and the only difference between what I submitted and what I now have was the pickups and the fingerboard. I opted ,then, for the Duncan Distortion and the Duncan Hotrails, with an Maple fingerboard. Jackson actually came in slightly cheaper than ESP. But both listed nearly a year before delivery.
As for binding, as mentioned ,strictly cosmetic, but it does enhance the look of the neck.
So far, I like the EMG`s, very high output, not a high as in distortion type of output, but in signal strength.
As far the Kahler, good units, but I`m addicted to the Floyds after all these years.

i'm telling you,Joe, what you are looking for is nothing worth paying the custom upcharge for. Your best bet is to buy a black KV2 and make the hardware and electronic changes yourself. Fender owns Jackson now, and their custom shop orders start around 4 grand, so you can save more than the cost of the new hardware. If you do it as soon as you get it, you can always Fleabay the stuff you take out and recover some of that investment as well.
If you are looking for specifics about the KV2, let me know and I can post any pics you request. I have a KV2 and can get you shots or info on anything specific you want. They still come standard with medium frets, despite the info on the Jackson site (because any changes haven't made it to retail stock yet).

Well, I am glad you like it!! So what will it be boxers or briefs??
EMG`s are smokin, but can`t really tell much of a difference when I toggle between the neck and bridge. Have only played it thru my Pocket POD and my son`s little Fender G-Dec, so I need to score a big amp .
And the budget will recover soon enough.So buyers remorse should be minimal.

VERY VERY nice score.... Glad the headstock matches, that really sets it off.
The EMG's sound phenomenal in my DK2M, and the 85 in the neck position oozes earthy tones.. How do they sound with the maple top?
I hope it doesn't screw the budget up too bad, Fender just had another price increase, and it seems to cascade to the secondary market. Besides, you have no idea the mess that beauty has created here... You owe me a new pair of shorts my friend !!!!!! |

Well, that's true. Everyone plays other people's songs for a while. But if you're up to it . . . write ! To me, music is all about expression and communication. Why would you want to communicate someone else's feelings ? Something I have always loved to do is to turn on the radio ( especially when KNAC was still on the air ) and ignore the vocals. Then I would just solo all over it like it was my personal backing track. Every time the song changes, you have to change with it. The key changes, the tempo changes, the type of emotion changes, etc.

Doing basic bar chords can be frustrating, as they don`t really follow a riff. But, they can be helpful teaching you the feel and basic sounds in a particular key.
I can`t read sheet at all, just tabs, and even that is limited as I always tend to loose my place!!
