K. Ended up with this one through a trade. It´s one of Ohjays old guitars. Since completed with a fresh Kahler and what not.

Image

Yep. Brand new.

Image

Bridgepup is a MMK-45 and the neck one a -61

Image

I got this one to get a backup for my NS when we´re gigin. Indeed this is a LOT of guitar. No argument. Fretboard needs a good clean tho.

Image

Image

Only thing duff lookin on the guitar are the tuners really. That aside it´s in a real nice nick. Hence..might be an idea to dig up a spare set in better condition. They work as intended tho...

Image

Axe is in essence ding free too. Not all that much to add.


I´ve noticed that the "library" lacks reference for this guitar. If anyone wants any additional info,hollar.

She's beautiful Jesper, like all PE's I've seen.
I don't know the line well at all though, did the original come with a Kahler? No doubt it's top quality hardware, but it seems a little bit large and somewhat out of place to me.

Yes they did.
KV for Kahler Vibrato.

For instance. PE-DL KV. Had one of those a while back too. A friggin brick weight wise. My own NS..sports a Kahler as well. Ditto for this PE-R80 KV.
The model used by Aria,Kahler produced several,is the one in the pic.

There were some Inazuma asf that used Kahler as well,just a slightly different model.

I would think so. Great sustain, but I'm not sure I'd want that around my neck all night long.

PE's do get heavy fast.

Nah.
This one,as well as my NS,is ok in that regard. Not heavier than your average Paulie... I´d say around 4,5kg.

I don't know anything about 61s but the 45 is probably a nice fit in this. I believe they came with 75s, no?
