What is kubicki guitar?

Kubicki guitar was a brand of electric guitars created by Chris Kubicki in the 1980s. They were known for their innovative features like the "Key" active preamp system, which allowed for easy tone control and two-handed tapping techniques. The body shape of Kubicki guitars was also unique, with a distinct double cutaway and curved edges. The brand gained a cult following among guitar enthusiasts and professional musicians, including Eddie Van Halen, who used a Kubicki Ex Factor guitar on his 1993 album "Balance." However, the brand ceased production in the late 1990s due to financial difficulties, making Kubicki guitars rare and sought after by collectors.
