Did You See This Photo Of Kirk?

Post by Pete-Rock »

Hey folks,

did you see this photo of the ripper:

CLICK TO SEE PHOTO

Here we see him with two of his KH-2 guitars. First I thought: Oh well, since the KH-2 Vintage is available, we cannot say if Kirk is really playing with his oldschool KH-2 which he has since the late 80s or if he uses a KH-2 Vintage. But on a second view I saw that the guitar he has around his shoulders on this pic has some kinda circle sticker kinda thing on it - so maybe this marks the vintage version and the REAL oldschool guitar is the one on the rack in the back. From his face you can obviously tell that he meant to say "oh well I cannot tell which one my real guitar is, the replica around is so close to the original".

What do you think?

The quizzical look on his face is classic. It so looks like he is thinking "what the fuck?!" :)

i think they both have that round sticker, but you can't see it in the guitar in the rack cuz the shoulder strap is in front of it

Naaa, definitely not. Kirks original oldschool KH-2 has no sticker but the "Kirks Guitar" and "Caution Hot".
