Keipro KS-Deluxe Ash-M H.H

Introduction

The Keipro KS-Deluxe Ash-M H.H is a powerful and versatile electric guitar that combines modern S-style ergonomics with the full-bodied sound of a traditional dual-humbucker instrument.

Its select swamp ash body uses a thin, open-pore satin finish and a pickguard-free design, allowing the player to see and feel the natural wood grain. This minimalist construction emphasizes direct resonance, tonal transparency and an organic playing experience.

Two YHL Marsbucker humbuckers form the tonal heart of the instrument, delivering vintage-inspired warmth, modern clarity and articulate performance under high gain. Coil splitting, a five-way selector, a roasted maple neck and staggered locking tuners further expand its versatility.

Product Overview

The KS-Deluxe Ash-M H.H is described as a tonal powerhouse created to break traditional boundaries. It combines the comfort and ergonomics of a modern S-style guitar with the thick, impactful sound of a classic dual-humbucker configuration.

Dual-Humbucker Configuration

The KS-Deluxe Ash-M H.H uses two Alnico 5 YHL Marsbucker pickups. The set is designed to deliver a full and powerful sound without sacrificing articulation or dynamic response.

Neck Pickup

YHL Marsbucker S2-07-N

• Position: Neck

• Pickup type: Humbucker

• Magnet: Alnico 5

• DC resistance: 7.2K

• Character: Warm, rich and expressive

• Response: Smooth and singing

• Recommended applications: Powerful rhythm parts, melodic lead playing and warm clean sounds

The neck pickup produces a full-bodied response with a vocal, sustaining character. Its moderate output preserves clarity while providing the warmth expected from a traditional humbucker.

Bridge Pickup

YHL Marsbucker S2-07-B

• Position: Bridge

• Pickup type: Humbucker

• Magnet: Alnico 5

• DC resistance: 7.8K

• Character: Focused, articulate and transparent

• Design: Modern evolution of a vintage PAF

• Recommended applications: Driven rhythm sounds, modern rock and articulate lead tones

The bridge pickup retains classic PAF-inspired warmth while using a proprietary winding technique to tighten the low end, increase midrange density and improve high-frequency transparency.

This voicing allows individual notes to remain clear within complex chords, including when the guitar is used with substantial gain.

The non-recessed two-point tremolo provides expressive pitch control while retaining a familiar playing feel.

The staggered posts improve the strings’ break angle across the nut, while the locking mechanism supports tuning stability and simplifies string changes.
