Pure Blood MIJ
One of the high-end products of Cushin Gakki Japan Factory. It feels lighter than a KV2 or a similar segment version, KVMG Pro. Besides the rosewood fretboard and binding, there's nothing different from than mentioned models. I won't write about specs, simply that it has a premium feel.
You can't go wrong with this.

Total USA Killer
It's a rare example of the mighty Professional Pro series of the Cushin Gakki factory. As a KV2 owner, I can easily say there's no difference about the details like inlays, frets, binding, etc. Also, the neck is a bit thinner while both my KV2, KVMG Pro, KVXT, and Js32T India got nearly the same neck profile.
I own a 1994 model with a J80 as a bridge pickup but the previous productions have a J90 which is a rare pickup. Its sound is a bit more crisp and punchy while the KV2 (SD-JB on the bridge) has a little bit much low-end and body. Probably it's because of the Poplar body instead of Alder like KV2
The fixed Kahler is marvelous if you don't like the use whammy that much yet you like the Floyd rose because of the hand placement.
If you find one under 2000 USD, just go for it instead of buying a brand new MJ because those are not Cushin Gakki.
