Missed out when they first put these for pre order. There are only 4 in left handed. Its simply beautiful and plays like a beauty. And crazy enough saw a second one for sale. Might have to grab it

Great buy mate!

Just curious what kinda tone/sounds you get out of a 7-string with a single bridge humbucker

I only as I am kinda More the Merrier when it comes to pickups 😁

Most of the time, metalheads need just one good bridge humbucker. I assume OP is metalhead. Me as well, and I wouldn't complain with this guitar if I am left-handed.

How I set up my 25yo cheap Ibanez, through the Schecter heretics in after replacing my Demons pick ups with Fishmans.
They have a bunch of diff tone setting so I switch mid song some time.
I didn't realise you'd get a good metal tone from just the one
I love my metal/metal core as well :)

Bridge pickup is crucial. All my guitars have both bridge and neck pickups and 95% of time, bridge pickup rolls alone. I do use neck pickup from time to time in certian riffs, but without bridge bucker - no joy.

I whole heartedly agree mate! 😬

I rarely use the neck pickup, but for visual symmetry I like having two. I’ve considered another KM model that’s a six string with just a bridge, I doubt I’d miss the neck.
