Hi Chris,
I just want to send you a note about the guitar. Since I got it, I have not been able to put it down. I don't know what kind of magic you used to make the guitar but it sounded great and a pure joy to play. I don't think I've played my guitar like that since I was 12, which was when I started learning guitar. The guitar has a great tone and sustain. It just sounded like everything is resonating nicely together even when the guitar is not plugged in. I usually play through a lot of pedals but I found myself wanting to hear the clean sound of the guitar instead. This made me realize why I use so many pedals to begin with. It's because I feel like the guitar won't sound as good without them. It wasn't until I played the K-Line that I realize I don't need to use all the effects if the guitar sounded good to begin with. I might pair down my pedals to just overdrive and delay. I also really like the firebird pickups...thanks for the suggestion! Another thing I want to point out is the intonation. Remember how I told you that I tune my guitar in 5th's with a low C and you told me that the San Bernardino might not be the right guitar for the tuning? For the very first time, I was able to get the perfect intonation for the low C. I only had to move the saddle back a few millimeters and there's still plenty of room. The highest string for my tuning is a G (above guitar high E). Normally the string just sounded thin and weak because it's stretched to its maximum capacity. Since the guitar is so resonant, the high G string sound as full as the lower strings. The San B can definitely handle weird tunings. It could probably be tuned to low B without a problem. All in all, I'm very happy with the guitar. The search is over, K-Line is definitely "it" for me. When I find something good, I usually get two of them. So I'm already thinking about getting another K-Line...just as soon as I decide what color I want. Thank you again for being kind enough to build me the guitar. I'll be in touch for another one. Terry T. 
Okay Chris, be afraid, be VERY afraid. You just might have created a monster here! I cannot begin to tell you how much I love my new K-Line!!! I have a dozen other guitars and have been playing for over 25 years. And, this is it. This guitar is perfect for me!! I really want to thank you for being so flexible when it came to the exact specs I was after. And, I can't tell you how impressed I am with your craftsmanship. I really couldn't be happier! :-) I am certain that this won't be my last K-Line! Thanks so much again. Stuart D.
Dear Mr. Kroenlein, This past week I traded in my beloved Throbak Classic combo (only 28 ever made!) for one of your strats. I had visited Garret Park guitars a couple months back and could not put your guitar down. After much deliberation, I decided I must have it. I've gotta say, I am absolutely thrilled I did. I am amazed at this tone monster. The neck is perfect, and after a quick string change (I play .008's), I have never felt more comfortable playing. I'm really astounded at the quality and attention to detail. Perfection! I used to play an hour a day, but now I just can't put it down. I've literally had 30+ strats and always had to do some modifying to get them playable. I've had to do nothing to this guitar. I'm so impressed. I really can't wait to get another. Quite fine work, sir. Jeff K. Chrest
Hi Chris, I just received the guitar. Just one word: stunning! Now I see why your guitars are so highly regarded, it's really a pleasure to look at and most of all to play. It's not unlikely that I will soon get in touch again, maybe for another:-) Thank you very much. Sergio D. Click here for More Testimonials... |
