KNS 6-String is officially launched!

[stultzies9]

Hi guys!

I'm the Other Aaron. I was an employee at Warmoth from 2005-2021, did QC for a big chunk of that, etc. I've been waiting for this body to come out since about 2008. I'm the owner of the original KNS body. There's a link here on Unofficial that may still have pics of the completed guitar:

Look what one of the Warmoth employees made!

I've been playing that guitar for 15+ years now, and I'll say the upper fret access is fantastic. It balances great on a strap, and since the longer upper horn pushes the guitar in a little bit, it really does feel a lot like playing a short scale.

I'm beyond excited to see this body offering now, and can't wait to see more of them in the wild.

P.S. I DO know what KNS stands for.

Cool! Almost reminds me of something Carvin-ish.

By the way, if you click “reply” to that linked thread the images will show on mobile.

Also, I was going to ask to change my forum name to The Other Aaron, I guess it needs to be a the Other Other Aaron.

Hey Aaron, glad you still own the OG brotha!

Hey Aaron, glad you still own the OG brotha!

I ain't getting rid of that for nothing. It's one of my favorite guitars.

Hi guys!

I'm the Other Aaron.

Thanks for the insight! It looks like yours might have a larger round over than the release version?

 

[Cheery Zeery]

It does make me curious about what other things are kicking about at Warmoth HQ. I always want to know about off-menu items, but it's one of those blind exercises where you won't get yes for an answer until you ask the right question.

I think you're right. Looks like the new ones have the Soloist edge radius. Looks sharp!

@Hodgo You are correct. The released version has a tighter radius than Aaron's.

Is this only available as a rear rout? The builder gives you a top rout option but I don’t see pickguards for it.

Looks like a pointy Ernie Ball Music Man Silhouette.

I don't know where you are seeing a top rout option.

I must’ve gotten a bug.
