Kz Guitar Works SS-1 Standard Black Gloss 2025

The SS-1 Stop Tail is a completely limited-edition custom model from MGK Order.

With a long-scale maple neck and a 5-way switch, the SS-1 Standard allows for smooth playing even when switching from a traditional Stratocaster model. While it is the most orthodox model in the series, it stands out for its carefully selected woods and bold, striking appearance.

This Black Gloss model features a solid Big Leaf Mahogany 3-piece body construction. Experience a sound that’s a cut above the chambered models.

Kz Guitar Works SS-1 Series

An exclusive order for MGK (Miyaji Guitars Kanda).

Developed alongside the Kz Versa, the Kz Guitar Works SS-1 Series is a special model that incorporates the specifications of the ST model we had long envisioned at our shop.

Paying homage to the US-1 once sold by Company G, it recreates the all-maple top and mahogany back that were impossible to achieve at the time.

We have selected Big Leaf Mahogany, a variety of Honduran mahogany, as our premium wood. Furthermore, we have chosen a TOM bridge and aluminum tailpiece to ensure the wood’s natural characteristics are not compromised. The unique sound resulting from the top wood is another highlight to enjoy.

*The SS-1 Standard features a mahogany body.

The use of a TOM bridge allows for a neck angle similar to that of a set-neck guitar, offering a playing feel and string tension distinct from conventional Strat-type guitars. The sound benefits of the newly developed reverse-mounted RS joint are also noteworthy.

The newly developed Kz Versa pickup, equipped with coil tap, offers versatility suitable for everything from cutting to solo playing.

The Kz Guitar Works SS-1 is a special series crafted by Kz Guitar Works—a company renowned for its guitar-making skills, officially endorsed by Queen guitarist Brian May—using a generous amount of carefully selected wood.

This model will evoke nostalgia for those who lived through the heyday of 80s super-Strats, while offering a fresh appeal to modern players. If you’re looking for a Strat-style guitar that stands out from the crowd, this is definitely an option worth considering.
