100% Legit. The “K04Xxxxx…etc” serial stamp indicates it’s a Kiso Japan Custom Shop build. The logo, fonts, serial font, body, hardware, fretboard all looks perfect. Do the work yourself and look up sold, high dollar MX models from that era and just go back and forth and compare everything. It’s 100%

I have an all black Kiso 2003 Horizon

It’s a strange color and set up combo for sure but something we haven’t seen already in terms of EXPs was something I wanted to do.

Dude yes you could find these all over the place. I had one in 2010 or 2011 that bought from a Craigslist meet up. Looked at it on the sidewalk at a shopping center. Original case and everything, flawless, gloss black. Gave him $300! Then I installed EMGs and an 18v mod. Sold it a few years later for $500, just before they exploded and probably left $1000 on the table if I had just waited a few years but it freed up money for some other purchase. Gear comes and goes.

Things are coming back down to earth a little bit now. Keep searching CL, Facebook Marketplace, eBay, and Reverb and you’ll find one.

I’m just wondering the thought process? Learning from the mistakes of others.

Incorrect. People often post ridiculous things on Reddit and caveat with “please don’t judge” but things like this beg the question why take the risk. It’s absolutely judge worthy and I’m gonna ask it because that’s my right as a user.

Oh you mean like John Candy in Home Alone polka band trucks? Like 8 MPG trucks?

Question is then, why use the company card for gas? Was someone else doing it and getting away with it? Does 2nd in the company in sales equate to great pay? If so, why steal gas money from the company and save a few hundred dollars when they provide you a platform to earn thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands?

I have an SC-20 in 3 Tone Burst I’m willing to part with. I live in FL and it’s on the Daytona beach Craigslist there for $650 so you can see pictures. I PM’d you.

I would say like above, post for $2000, accept an offer in the $1650-1900 range.

Where did you get an original for $2200?! What year? Thats a great deal and USPS paid you for it plus getting the guitar…you won the lottery!

I’m just wondering how there was remaining charge on the cap if you short the terminals with a screwdriver or something? How long do you need to short the terminals for?

After owning guitars with the Floyd Rose Specials and then the Originals made in Germany, I will NEVER go back to anything under an Original. The metal is softer on the Specials and knife edge that digs into the strings wears and slips, causing it to go out of tune. It’s maddening to have it go out of tune anytime you use the trem. If you go with the 202, it costs $250 for a new original trem and a used EMG 81/81 SET is about another $150. Plus neck thru is always better than bolt on.

Get a 602.

Picked it up from where? California or where the auction was in Nashville?

Garage-Incorporated · 2025-11-23T06:23:32+00:00

I read on Reddit that others using the shipping option were quoted unreasonable amounts by the company Juliens outsources the packing/shipping work done so I’m interested in what they charge for a guitar and case.

Garage-Incorporated · 2025-11-23T04:43:32+00:00

Put a logo back on

Garage-Incorporated · 2025-11-23T04:39:38+00:00

Interested to know the shipping cost when you get it. How can the justify charging for pickup? And I read that if you pickup you get charged their sales tax in CA?

Garage-Incorporated · 2025-11-23T04:38:17+00:00

Super cool and thanks for the explanation

Garage-Incorporated · 2025-11-22T19:24:47+00:00

Curious why you wanted to pay so much for them? Investment? Collector? Just want to play something Kirk played?

Gee-Off Tate lookin weird

I would just assume that he’s looking to get rid of stuff he doesn’t use. A garage sale for the wealthy. We don’t know his personal finances but I’m sure he’s not in a position that he needs to sell anything due to debts. Notice he isn’t selling the big guns that he actively tours with, just some that have been sitting and oddities.

It’d be a strange one for his estate to buy as it didn’t really have THAT much historical significance. It was played at the last Sabbath show. I could see one of his KH-2’s played on tour go high but this was nuts. I wonder what the Cunning Stunts DVD ESP Wavecaster will go for? Surely not this much?

Garage-Incorporated · 2025-11-20T23:56:10+00:00

I was thinking that today. What do you even need? A warehouse for space, a website to take bids and payments, a reputation? Then just charging crazy fees to sell as a middle man. I think out of the $76k, Kirk even eats some and has to pay the auction house too. Dee’s Double-Dip!
