Default Ken Miller slope dread - I took delivery!

I collected my new Ken Miller slope dread at Kaufman Kamp & have had a full week jamming etc to put her through her paces. I'm loving this guitar. She looks beautiful & sounds wonderful (as expected given the spec somewhat like my Gibson SJ - but lighter & louder!). Ken & Virginia are true artists in their field.

Default Ken Miller

I owned a Miller Dred a few years back. Among the best guitars I have ever played and owned. What really surprised me was how light it was. Super responsive. Great choice for a custom build.

Enjoy, it is a real beauty !!

Hey Lefty guy that guitar looks SWEET! I typically HATE fish inlays, but yours look great, and the inlays on the fingerboard perfect. Also so glad you went with the mahogany back. Congrats and enjoy it.
