No-nonsense engineering





The Eclipse body style of the BK-600 means business, boasting a more traditional “full thickness” mahogany body without a waist cut. The single cutaway features a shaped design, allowing for maximum expression of even the highest frets on every string. The body is met with a 3-piece set through a mahogany neck engineered with a thin “U” contour, making it all the more effortless to navigate.

Hell-bent humbuckers with a cutting-edge construction





A guitarist constantly searching for the most brutal and expressive metal tones possible, Bill Kelliher’s search has led him to one of the boutique pickup world’s most renowned makers: Mojo Tone. This guitar sports a set of his signature Mojo Tone Hellbender humbuckers ? the very same pickups used on Mastodon’s 2021 album Hushed and Grim ? boasting a versatile hybrid design with separate wire gauges, Alnico II/Alnico V magnets, and unique ceramic magnet blending. It’s a truly distinct set of specs that results in a pickup that’s equally at home crunching out modern metal and prog metal riffage with a beautiful and lush clean tone when you dial down the gain.





Superb intonation





Black hardware complements the rugged appearance of this beast ? but looks aren’t everything! Equipped with a Tonepros Locking TOM and Tailpiece and a small army of LTD Locking tuners, you’ll shred worry-free onstage and in-studio for as long as your fingers can stand it.
