This second video shows the guitar going through the workshop process. This process takes around an hour but dont worry - its just highlights!
Its Not Always A Happy Ending
One of my favorite adverts was one by Honda which said at Honda they don't use the word "OK" and instead they use the phrase "What If". I LOVED that advert and found it so inspiring. This is the premise of every guitar setup we undertake. If that means rejecting guitars and starting again - that is exactly what we do.

If you have bought a guitar before you will know all too well that not every guitar feels or plays the same. You may also know that due to the nature of the major component of the guitar (wood) that they can feel great one moment and awful the next (say for example after traveling half way around the globe on a boat - from some factory in the far east to the UK!)

The KX300 takes the KX Series to a new boutique level of quality and features with Spalted Maple top on Mahogany body, EMG® RetroActive Super77 dual humbuckers with the classic zebra open-coil look and two cool-looking open pore sunburst finishes.
FEATURES
MAHOGANY BODY
The KX300 features a mahogany body and Bolt-On construction for a thick yet punchy and powerful tone that matches its intense design and styling. While modeled after the modern style double-cutaway body, standing out from its class for enhanced playability as well as its unique visual style.
SPALTED MAPLE TOP
The striking Spalted Maple top not only looks amazing but complements the Mahogany body to produce a very balanced tone – warm, rich, and full yet cutting, defined and punchy.
EMG® RETROACTIVE SUPER 77 SET
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.
HARDTAIL BRIDGE WITH STRING-THRU BODY
The strings-thru-body hardtail bridge improve sustain as well as enhancing resonance through the Mahogany body.
1 VOLUME & 1 TONE
3 WAY PICKUP SELECTOR
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.
RAINDROP INLAY
ON THE JATOBA FINGERBOARD
Jatoba is a very dense and stiff wood that makes it ideal for the fingerboard usage. Jatoba produces strong fundamentals and volume projection with an emphasis on the high-mids. The new “Raindrop” fingerboard inlay designed specifically for this model provides a distinctive look.
BOLT-ON CONSTRUCTION
The time-tested bolt-on construction produces a big, open sound.
