KNS vs Z

[bonesofwrath]

I've been thinking of a Z build for a while, but then I see the KNS and ...

Anyone play both? To me the Z doesn't really look crazy futuristic like the V/Star/Explorer/etc.. it looks more like something Leo could've made but never did.
But the KNS looks like it's Dinky adjacent - not exactly the same shape but slightly smaller super strat with better horns. KNS is a little "safer" but I think Z still has classic looks and not just weird for weirdness sake.

I'm curious about balance and handling though.

I’ve had a Z and I much prefer the KNS.
The Z has that part of the cut on the upper waist that is a hard poke to the ribs, and the lower part of the lower cutaway digs into your leg when playing in a seated position.

The KNS is smooth and even all the way around, and extremely well balanced.
