For players who are more keen on presenting themselves with gothic, dark presence. Covered in matte black with accented gold paint that is only applied on the wood grains of a beautiful ash top to exude an organic vibe, this stunning guitar is also equipped with matching colored EMG® RetroActive Super77 humbuckers that have been tested and proven by the existing KX300 models to be an excellent match for the Mahogany body. The 15㎜ Solid Swamp Ash top receives a sand blasted open-pore finish with gold color accents on a matte black background to exude an organic vibe and add a layered look called “etched”. The combination of ash top on a mahogany body complement each other to produce a warm and thick mid-low range tone with sparkling and punchy highs for clearer definition in mixes and live situations. Designed with today’s metal sounds in mind, the EMG RetroActive Super77 pickups provide a very clear high output with superb articulation and focus on the low strings and a singing high-end. The strings-thru-body hardtail bridge improve sustain as well as enhancing resonance through the Mahogany body. Pau Ferro is a dense hardwood with a tonal character somewhere in between Maple and Rosewood, Pau Ferro also has the smooth feel of ebony and a high-end luxurious look. The new “Raindrop” fingerboard inlay designed specifically for this model provides a distinctive look. The simple 1 volume, 1 tone and 3-way toggle switch controls provide a variety of great sounds and allows you to focus on your playing. The Canadian hard Maple neck provides power and stability as well as contributing a beefy and punchy tone with a strong upper midrange.
