KNS 6-String, Semi-Recessed Wilkinson

[Scab Pickens]

Well, crap! I guess my next build plan of a hardtail Strat has turned into something completely different. The Metallic Surf Green lightweight Meadowhawk and KNS 6 bodies that have been in the Showcase too long have been killing me. I already have a Meadowhawk, so ... I guess I'm going to be building a KNS! Most people probably imagine this body shape as a chugga-chugga thrasher guitar (maybe?). Well, I'm going for a semi-recessed Wilkinson. Two humbucker ring mount pickups, 1 and 2 position pots, and a blade switch. As of now, I'm thinking LollarTron Humbuckers, Volume, Tone, and a three-way switch. Simple. A Meadowhawk neck will be in the works at some point, I think. Time will be moving slowly on this one, I'm afraid. I really need to find a way to take some good photos of the last two or three (or four?) I've put together ...

Anyway ... body, bridge, and some various small doo-dads are on order. Pics will come when the body shows up!

Been waiting to see some KNS6 love.

I know, right? I haven't seen any photos that I can recall of what folks are doing with them. When I first saw that body shape announced I was like "aw, Hell Yeah .. that's bitchin'!" Then the more I looked at it, I wasn't too sure. Now, I came back around to "bitchin'!"

I have had it in my wishlist for some time. I just went a little hog wild in 2025 with my guitar spending so I’m not jumping in any time soon

Oh, I can relate to that! I'm going to do this one in stages. It might be a two year build! I just wanted to snatch up a $600 body for $390!

KNS is cool!
I briefly had a Gecko (KNS is sort of a guitar version of Gecko?) and it was very comfortable.
(Except it was a five-string, turns out I don't enjoy five strings...)
