Show off your KNS build? Can’t find many pics on here. What‘s your experience with them? Are they much more comfortable/balanced than a Strat-like body? I was thinking about building up a hardtail with either solid mahogany body, or roasted swamp ash with mahogany top.
 
I have a hardtail basswood KNS body coming soonish (order status says picked) to pair with a carbon fiber neck and some Wilde pickups. I'll start a build thread when it gets here in case you are interested.
That’s going to be an insanely awesome build

I think a Strat is about as good as it gets as far as balance goes. The KNS should be even better in my imagination. I'll know for sure before too long. I'm not sure what "too long" is, though 😊 .

😁 My build schedule on this one is rivaling some of yours! I did mention the fact initially that this might be a two year build. That was intentionally over-estimating ... maybe. I'm just waiting for the proper time to do the electronics. Too much other crap going on right now. I think I have all the pieces gathered. Just need to focus. The past few days I have been focusing more on ... should I go for a Velocity or Soloist to utilize my newly acquired Meadowhawk Wizard Gibson scale neck! 😁
 
That reminds me of the Charvel orange crackle bass my friend let me use to play with some other kids on Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" at the high school talent show in the early '90s! I love those crackle finishes. Looks really cool on the KNS! 😎 At the same talent show, I did a solo acoustic version of Social Distortion's "Ball And Chain". Ahhh ... the good ol' days! 😜
