For players who are more keen on presenting themselves with gothic, dark presence. Covered in matte black with accented red and 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. Ash Top on Mahogany Body The 15? Solid Swamp Ash top receives a sand blasted open-pore finish with red and gold color accents on a matte black background to exude an organic vibe and add a layered look which we call it “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.
