Black Beauty
Materials and workmanship on this no frills SG copy make it a very good bargain for the money. It was almost ready to play straight out of the box, just a tuneup and a minor lowering of the bridge to suit my preference for low action and it was good to go. The pickups are good, the body resonates a clear tone, the neck is comfortable, the balance is superb, the paint and finish is fine, its yer basic humbucker rock guitar. In my life, I have paid a lot more money at times for a lot less guitar, so I am quite satisfied. The overall volume, then pickup front/back or both switch and overall tone control is a very minimalistic system, but its really fine for getting good usable tones quickly and with little fuss. A more elaborate system would simply cost more, and not really be worth it, in my opinion. Save that money for getting a better amplifier is my take on "tone control" .The tuners are something maybe someone would complain about, they are not super smooth Grovers, but they look good and work fine. Its my observation that most people don't know how to really change their strings, and don't know you have to keep constant tight even pressure on a string from the moment you put it through the post, and wind it steady and evenly, never letting up on the pressure. If you do that correctly, the cheapest tuners in the world will rarely slip or go out of tune. String up sloppy, and they wont stay in tune no matter what brand tuners you have. its just physics. Start tight, wind tight, end tight, and a little pencil graphite in all the string passing grooves at bridge and nut to lubricate the strings and eliminate friction hangups, and that's it. Anyway, this guitar is a keeper, and after 50 years of playing, I kind of have this figured out by now.

Best of a Tele and a Jazzmaster in the same guitar
Wasn't sure what to expect with this combination of a Jazzmaster style body and soapbar pickup combined with the bridge pickup and control panel of a Telecaster, but they are a perfect combination of almost all the sounds one might need out of an electric guitar, definitely a go to guitar. Its a walnut color, not walnut wood, by the way, This is my third or fourth King guitar and all of them have been very solid, well made and excellent playing guitars. They all need a good set up,of course, so find someone who can do it right, and once set-up, you're good for life. The only thing I don't like about it is the shiny finish, I wish it had a matte finish, that would seem to better reflect the "organic" vibe of this guitar better. Also, take a look at MY photo of the guitar, the demo photo on the listing gives a distorted view of what it actually looks like. In person it is smaller and more compact than the demo photo might lead you to believe, and that's a good thing. It is a very comfortable and balanced guitar, ergonomically. It plays like a dream. You kind of have to get over the initial weirdness of the Tele/Jazz hybrid look...but once you start playing this, believe me, you'll get over it pretty quick.

Versatile mic, better than the Green Bullet
4 of 4 found this helpful At one point I owned around 16 harp mics, just to see what the fuss was about, regarding each type. Bit by bit I got rid of them, as I narrowed them down to the most versatile. By versatile, I mean could be played clean, round and sweet, or adjusted to play Chicago style dirty saxophonish blues. The vintage ceramics got eliminated quickly, they only do one sound well, and tend to be brittle and harsh sounding. the Bushman torpedo did fairly well, considering its a regular dynamic mic hidden inside a Astatic type shell, LOL! The Green Bullet is a classic, but was just not as versatile as the Superlux, which was one of the cheapest of the whole lot. The GB has a specific sound, which the Superlux can easily achieve, but the GB can't sound rich and toneful on the clean side like a Superlux. I wound up using the Superlux as my only mic, whether playing campfire pork and beans Country Western, Heavy Rock and Blues, jazzy stuff, haunting Irish melodic, Y'allternative, or Pink Floyd, between how you hold, cup and control your harp, and the Superlux, and use the volume, it does it all. The detent is the secret, below the detent, if the rest of your gear is set up right, you will have clean sound, above the detent is to dial in the dirt, depending on how hard you blow, and how tight you cup. I own two Superlux now, one for main, the other is just a backup. The paint has not held up particularly well, that's the worst of it, everything else has been reliable. The bulldog forehead wrinkle grips are a little weird, but comfortable once you are used to them. Volume knob perfectly placed. Sturdy, steady. about seven years now. Outside of really understanding how to play a harmonica without forcing it, by your own breath control,, having a mic like this that you really learn to use well, and it can be all you need. PA or amp, doesn't matter.
