WTB: ESP KH-20
WTB: ESP KH-20
Hey guys,
I'm back on the market looking to buy an ESP KH-20. I know it will be tough to find but figured this would be a good place to start. If anyone on here is looking to sell, please let me know! Thanks.
They make kh-2 vintage jr? Is that new ?
Also how is the sound on emg passive 81 n 60 n H from the Gibson Kirk Flying V limited run ?
I want to add metal pickups to some of my Prs guitars I added original Floyd rose but to add active is a lot more work I love emgs 81,85,60 etc but how are they with passive ? Am I better off with Duncan's I use a custom horizon ESP with Duncan's to play metallicas welcome home. I added chorus and I got the perfect intro sound and then just switched to the bridge pickup for the solo n it was perfect question is for playing old school Metallica does active emg get the closest tone and after that passive emgs ? Or dmarzzio or Duncan's ? Lots of questions ty just confirming kh-20 has dual 81s n ouijas have the 81/60
Shockers wrote:I also have a KH Jr for the kids to play. My eldest shows no interest anymore, but my 9 yo daughter still asks to play on it. I also work FIFO so it doubles as a travel geet when I cant take a full sized one. Gonna up grade the stock ESP EMG passives to 81's or 81/60 one day.
Very nice collection there man. Digging the caution hot sticker on the Jr guitar.
I give him lessons from age 6 he's a great little roadie he helps me with amp settings n wah etc for dif songs I write he's doing ok but he loves hockey better he's 7 now n smart he'll prob play when he gets older and I have a kh-2 for him when he's older for now the kh-jr works he loves my gtr collection .
Prs Hollowbody II custom watched him closely as this one is a private stock custom n the Hollowbody model is Prs most expensive model but it's 5 lbs so I let him use it with my supervision lol n when I take Xanax lots!!
Cute kid! Great to see he at least showed some interest in the guitar at such a young age.
I think he will take it up again when he is older and realises that girls dig rockstars.
ty I love him n we spend a lot of time together n I'm slowly teaching him until he can have the patients to sit with a teacher
he helps me out a lot n can setup all my gear n knows what knobs to shift on the main amps n loves to play with the Dunlop wah kh-95 pedal while I play anything he has a great ear I'll be playing many Metallica songs or sabbath ozzy from the age of 5 he knew how to if u will hum the music if I stopped, what came next. His fav songs are fade one and mop.
And welcome home. I was a 20 year old rocker playing clubs in NYC n after a show I met my wife n with my kh-3 I played fade to black n yeah got married a few months later !!
Great to hear you love the Vintage Nate, that is one of my favourite guitars.
There are a few SE guitars for sale at the moment, first time in a while I have seen one actually. They are on Ebay, you might want to jump on one of them before they sell.
I have only ever seen mint condition KH20 guitars, I don't think too many owners would give them a hard time. Lol If I come across a beater KH20, I will be sure to let you know.
Sorry to hear of your broken back, I couldn't think of anything worse mate.
Hoping you have a speedy recovery Nate and thanks for sharing your pics when you can.
I'm affraid bad news I have a stress factor in my back bulging discs n I get back spasms n I might need a micro- dicectomy sorry I'm on a pain med drip I can't see I'm trying to pass the time.
im in a bed here in NYC and I have headphones a kh-2 and a small tiny mini orange amp so playing in bed n trying to rest n not think of the pain. Ty every1 for well wishes I'm by myself but never alone.
I asked the dr if playing gtr or golf for 20 years or hockey n I played all sports in high school n college n after did that since I was lucky not to have a serious injury.
the doc says it can happen from anything in January it started to hurt as we were in a van n there was black ice by JFK airport n I literally have a video of cars ceasing into us trees and some buses clipping us none going fast but that was scary n then the flight to Florida was rough n turbulent that's when my back started to hurt. But after that they thought if I was able to do physical therapy it would fix it but to be honest everything is inflamed needs to be reset n hurts so 1 day at a time. I also have in my room A Hollowbody Prs custom if I want to play unplugged ty and hope to be home in a few days.
A question for the KH-20 owners......
What do you use to oil the KH-20 Ebony fretboard???
I recently bought some Dunlop 65 Ultimate Lemon Oil for my Rosewood fretboards on all the other ESP guitars I own.
They guy at the music shop recommended it. I have only oiled one guitar so far with it and I think it's amazing stuff.
It cleans the fretboard, oils it and makes it super smooth! Smells great too, I love the stuff.
Can I safely use this on my KH-20 and re-issue Oiuja guitar with the Ebony fretboard?
Or can anyone recommend anything else to use on these guitars with Ebony fretboards and more importantly those inlays. I don't want to ruin that fretboard or inlays.
Thanks in advance.
I've got 2x KH Jr guitars also Nate for my twin girls. They just turned 4 years old, so perhaps a little too young to play them without totally damaging them.
I was considering buying 2x cheap shit guitars to see if they actually really want to play the guitar but I haven't got around to it yet.
If they don't want to play guitar, then I will hold onto these guitars for a few more years just incase they change their minds. If they don't want to eventually take it up while they are kids, then I sell them and buy them a guitar later in life if they change their minds.
Thanks for sharing your pics, great seeing pictures of your wonderful collection man.
