Kinal owners??

Just now getting used to my new-to-me Kinal 5 string MK5-B.
So far, I love it. After decades of Gibson 4 string, I need to relearn how to play.
Strings are close together, arched fingerboard, low action.

- claro walnut top and alder core, tobacco finish
- Pau Ferro fretboard
- 34"scale

Two Bartolini passive humbucker soap bar pickups.
- Bridge pickup is a quad coil humbucker.
- Neck pickup is a dual coil humbucker.
- Bartolini Harness HR 5.4

Give it time, you'll adjust to the tighter radius and string spacing.

The elex. appear similar to mine although I'm not sure which Bart soapbars. One minor niggle: when blending back towards the bridge pup more than a nudge, I experience a bit of volume loss.
