Killer KG-Stallion Late-1980s to 1990s MIJ

Killer KG‑Stallion — Natural Finish, Japanese Build, Rock‑Ready

The Killer KG‑Stallion, a practical, performance‑focused model from the Japanese brand that helped shape Japan’s hard rock/metal scene.

Overview

- A mid‑range model that inherits the design philosophy of Akira Takasaki’s (LOUDNESS) PRIME signature — sharp Killer looks with battle‑ready specs and Japanese craftsmanship.

- Natural finish off the wood grain for a restrained, long‑lasting aesthetic.

- Body wood: Sen (Kalopanax septemlobus; prickly castor oil tree) — tight attack with a focused mid/low core for balanced tone.

- Neck/Fingerboard: Maple — clear attack and fast responsiveness.

- Scale: Long

- Frets: 22

- Weight: 3.42 kg.

- Case: Generic soft case included.

Electronics & controls

- Pickup selector, master volume, master tone, and a direct switch. Direct switch bypasses volume and tone pots for a more powerful, focused tone — great for in‑your‑face leads.

Playability & tone

- Well suited not only for hard rock/metal but also for tight funk strums, and powerful leads that cuts through. Delivers the direct, aggressive feel Killer is known for.

Condition

- Estimated manufacture: late 1980s–1990s, Japan
