King-Killer-Audio main logo. The logo centers the three words - King, Killer, and Audio - stacked on top of each other. There are two speakers framing those words, and are connected by a chain arch with a crown in the center. The words King & Killer are large, block letters while Audio is smaller and styled in cursive with two guitar patch chords connecting it to the speakers.

...what's the deal with the bloody guitar on the homepage? 

TL;DR: rock show, blood everywhere, means a lot, matches brand ethos. 

Long version: (2016) Indie rock show at a record shop. I cut my pick hand mid-set, didn't feel it, and bled all over the guitar. Casey Spring caught the shot.

​

Ten years later I needed a photo that matched KKA's ethos. Remembered this one. Casey dug it out of his archives.

​

That's my #1 — hand-built by Ry Charters. It's got proof of what I put into this. The stuff that mattered ten years ago is the same stuff driving me today.
