K-Line San Bernardino

The K-Line San Bernardino is a hand built guitar with great attention to detail in both its look and tone. This custom offset guitar from K-Line has a vintage Sonic Blue color with a nitrocellulose finish over alder that immediately takes it into the past. Custom Lollar P-90 pickups give the San Bernardino a gnarly midrange bite and hotter output found in 60's soap bar pickups. K-Line Guitars use a medium U-shaped maple neck that fills the hand nicely and a rosewood fingerboard with high quality frets and a 10" radius. The K-Line San Bernardino is also fitted with an aged Gotoh TOM bridge and stop tailpiece for deeply rooted sustain.

this guitar would look even more gorgeous with an aged white pickguard imo

I love the vintage tone, but I didn't hear any ungodly hum, best of both worlds

[DistortedV]

Gotta love those P-90's. They're in the Fano Alt de Facto models as well.

Many guitar companies these day leaving on someone's shape guitar...I hope G&L can still live, don't kill the originals.

I love Sonic Blue finishes, super classy imho.

[ER_aka_RAM]

HOLY F*! The Lollar's and the entire SB sounds unreal

[thefriendlyfinger]

@DistortedV12 The Fano has Lindy Fralin P-90s. He makes the BEST single coils! The Lollars in the K line are great too.

@SGTSHOOTnMISS Lollars aren't noiseless. The hum only becomes noticeable on high gain settings.

[Disharmonikash]

I'm glad you showed people the wah-like sounds one can do with the tone pot, not many out there know that :)
I love that sound but can never quite use it cause I have an SG and a Parker and it's just to far to reach...

[ghaibboy]

keep playing guitar Andy.. and keep reviewing gears..
we loves you

[NicholasViens]

at 2:59, I tought you were gonna play Train kept a rollin'.

[KleyDeJong]

Mmmm, love that body with P90's in it.

[tadaitstyler]

@shango02005 well both are based on a jazzmaster body with TOM bridge...

[louisalive]

@moucon I've never experienced much of a hum issue when recording with single coils, sure it's there, but just stand/sit in the right position, do it from the control room, allot of guitarists even have positions marked out on stage ie. where to stand for the least hum, where will give the most feedback for sustain... If you're using loads of gain, most of the time you're not worried about a bit of hum, ads character to the track in my opinion

[shango]

That reminds me so much of a Fano JM6.

[MrFelastic]

Is there any chance PGS will be getting more K-Lines in the future? I'd love to grab a Texola!

[sleepinertiac]

@ProGuitarShopDemos What's the name of the song from 1:30 to 2:53? It's absolutely gorgeous.. I feel like I've heard it somewhere. Please lmk! :)

[Deliquescentinsight]

Hum maybe more of an issue in the recording context, in these days of digital clean 3d soundscapes-but if you listen to a lot of the classic recordings, all accomplished on valve and analog amps and consoles-it is a part of the musical texture. I have yet to attend a decent concert without some Hum in the mix? Unless it blurs to the max, who cares?

[jigoo]

I'm pretty sure those pickups are wound to cancel out in the middle position if you're really so picky.

Hey PGS crew I just wanted to say that I love your reviews. It seems like you try and show what each thing you review excels at. With that being said, I was wondering if you do any reviews on basses. I play both guitar and bass and haven't seen any bass reviews yet.
