Location: Route 66, just east of the Cadillac Ranch | I just noticed Kaki King's signature guitar is now listed on the Adamas website. It's a mid-depth with a whopping 1 7/8" nutwidth, and it's not blue.

| Yep, brass knuckles is the first thing that came to mind when I saw that awhile ago. |

Location: Brisbane Australia | Kaki played at the "Sunset Sounds" music festival at the River Stage just across the river from me tonight.
I only realised on Tuesday but the tickets were all sold out.

| I'm sure that twenty-something Kaki is devastated that her guitar doesn't appeal to a bunch of boring fat old geezers. |

Location: Sydney, Australia | So the consensus seems to be that it's a guitar for violent mechanics with big hands.
Does anyone here have callouses anywhere other than their fingertips? |

Or for pretty, petite 20-year old female singer/ songwriters....either one. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I'm guessing that this guitar will be made on an "as required" basis, meaning that your local GC ain't likely to have one hanging on the wall. So I would suspect that you could pretty easily order it to your required dimensions (bowl, nut) with too much hastle, but better check with Al about that. |

Location: Utah | I'm disappointed that it is a mid-bowl with 1 7/8 nut. It could be that Kaki plays such an instrument, I don't know. She plays a lot of extreme low tunings for which the deeper bowl is better suited.
My girls both loved Kaki's guitar in real life, and I think that the epi styling is intended to be a bit girly or rebellious from the standard epis. Us old fat guys may not be drawn to the styling, but the target audience in this household approves. |
