KG-Prime 21 the spirit

The KG-PRIME is a modified guitar that Japan is proud of, made for Akira Takasaki of LOUDNESS and has been in production for over 30 years since it was first released to the market in 1988.
The guitar has been carefully crafted with many aspects in mind, including a sophisticated and unique body shape, a neck joint that is inserted deeper than the front pickup and has a 3-degree angle, and a VU-shaped neck that provides ideal grip in both low and high positions.

This is the metallic matte blue finish that first appeared at the LOUDNESS live show held at Roppongi EX Theater in December 2020.
Unlike the previous PRIME series, the body is made of alder top and maple back instead of ash. Alder is also used in the red mirror Random Star, so it is a body material that Takasaki is very familiar with. Furthermore, the maple back of the body tightens the unique resonance of alder, producing the Killer's distinctive edgy sound.
The neck, joined with Killer's proprietary deep insert method, is made of VU-shaped hard maple with a figured maple fingerboard, luminous side position marks, and wheel rods, just like the previous PRIME models. However, the entire neck, including the fingerboard, is painted with a natural wood stain, resulting in a more subdued color than the previous PRIME models. Additionally, the body size has been changed from the previous medium jumbo (#214H or Jescar #55090) to the jumbo Jescar #57110.
Of course, the pickup is Takasaki's signature Seymour Duncan THUNDER IN THE EAST, and the direct switch from the KG-PRIME Signature 8118 is also included. The pickup is mounted using a traditional escutcheon mount, rather than a direct mount.

With modified guitars, looks take priority, resulting in models that are difficult to play while sitting down or that are poorly balanced. However, the PRIME series boasts high playability and excellent balance that you wouldn't expect from its aggressive looks. Its wide range and excellent response make it a "first-class" guitar, just as its name suggests. The fact that it has been in production for over 30 years is proof enough of this.
Please pick it up and see its true value!
