{"product_id":"855440","title":"DINGWALL KK3 Kyle Konkiel Signature Combustion 5 (Matte Army Green) [Limited Edition of 100]","description":"Limited production of only 100 bottles!\u003cbr\u003e A Kyle Konkiel model equipped with a toggle switch that allows you to add a middle pickup in addition to the front and rear pickups!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Kyle Konkiel signature model, featuring a custom colorshift finish inspired by Lamborghini, a Nordstrand EQ, and custom wiring with a switchable middle pickup, was released in 2023 as a limited edition of 25 units worldwide. Since then, development has continued with Kyle to further refine this custom base, changing the color to matte army green. It has also been upgraded with a newly developed Minimalist bridge, the latest string guides, and matte black hardware. In addition, it is equipped with an EMG 3-band preamp, making this second-generation model ready for a new story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This instrument is based on the \"Combustion\" model, which features the beautiful, smooth body lines characteristic of Dingwall basses, and utilizes an alder body, a 5-piece maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The scale length, like that of high-end Canadian models, employs a multi-scale (fanned fret) system designed by Ralph Novak. Each string differs in length by 0.75 inches, resulting in a G string of 34 inches and a B string of 37 inches. This provides tension to the lower strings, which are normally difficult to achieve sufficiently, while maintaining excellent playability thanks to a meticulously calculated balance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Much of our success is built on the personal relationships we have with artists,\" says Sheldon Dingwall, CEO of Dingwall. The result is a guitar that combines looks, playability, and flexibility at a high level. Its fast and comfortable neck responds to every challenge a player may have.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e PICKUPS \u0026amp; ELECTRONICS\u003cbr\u003e The guitar features three highly acclaimed Dingwall FD3n pickups, an EMG 3-band active EQ, and Dingwall's proprietary Quad Tone rotary control.\u003cbr\u003e Like the original model, it features custom wiring that allows you to add a middle pickup via a toggle switch to the front + rear pickup combination, offering a total of eight unique pickup combinations. A wide range of sound-shaping options are available.\u003cbr\u003e Also, similar to the Canadian model, it's possible to switch between active and passive modes using a push-pull master volume control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e HARDWARE\u003cbr\u003e This model is a special edition limited to only 100 units, inheriting core features of the Combustion series such as a 34-37 inch multi-scale, 24 frets (banjo-sized frets), and Hipshot Ultralite tuners. The back features a magnetic battery cover that opens and closes incredibly easily. Once you experience this convenience, you'll never want to go back to the hassle of unscrewing and opening the cover as before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, the black hardware version features a newly adopted Minimalist bridge and updated string retainers. The result is a finish that has been improved down to the smallest detail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003caccessories\u003e Original gig bag, wrench, etc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspecifications\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hybrid Manufacturing: China\/Canada\u003cbr\u003e Scale length: 5 strings 37-34 inches\u003cbr\u003e Neck: 5-Piece Maple, bolt-on\u003cbr\u003e Fingerboard: Rosewood (9.45 Radius)\u003cbr\u003e Frets: Novax Fanned-fret System \/ 24 acoustic-sized frets, 0.040 tall x 0.080 wide\u003cbr\u003e Pickups: Dingwall FD3-N Pickups (Neodymium Magnets, 3 Pickup Models Wired in Series)\u003cbr\u003e Preamp: EMG 3-Band EQ\u003cbr\u003e Matches:\u003cbr\u003e Master Volume with Push\/Pull Active\/Passive Switch\u003cbr\u003e Quad-tone Pickup Selector\u003cbr\u003e 3-Band Active EQ (Bass, Middle, Treble)\u003cbr\u003e Middle Pickup Toggle Switch\u003cbr\u003e Bridge: Dingwall 'Minimalist' one-piece bridge\u003cbr\u003e String Spacing at Bridge: 5 string 0.709 inches (18mm)\u003cbr\u003e Tuners: Hipshot\/Dingwall 20:1 Gear Ratio，Non-Reversible\u003cbr\u003e Finish: Matte Army Green (100 pieces)\u003cbr\u003e Weight: ≈4.25 kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Pickup Positions (1-4 Left to Right):\u003cbr\u003e Position 1\u003cbr\u003e Toggle Switch off: Bridge Solo\u003cbr\u003e Toggle Switch on: Bridge\/Middle Parallel\u003cbr\u003e Position 2\u003cbr\u003e Toggle Switch off: Bridge\/Neck Parallel\u003cbr\u003e Toggle Switch on: Bridge\/Middle\/Neck Parallel\u003cbr\u003e Position 3\u003cbr\u003e Toggle Switch off: Bridge\/Neck Series\u003cbr\u003e Toggle Switch on: Bridge\/Neck Series, in Parallel with Middle\u003cbr\u003e Position 4\u003cbr\u003e Toggle Switch off: Neck Solo\u003cbr\u003e Toggle Switch on: Neck\/Middle Parallel\u003c\/specifications\u003e\u003c\/accessories\u003e","brand":"DINGWALL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43140712988785,"sku":"855440","price":3203.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/KK3_Kyle_Konkiel_Signature_Combustion_5__Matte_Army_Green___Limited_Edition_of_100__01.jpg?v=1776134494","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/products\/855440","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
