I could see that happeningNah they're recessed. If you look close you can see the paint going into the cavities
I do wonder IF they do get some kinda C&D they'll pull some kinda "I'm being silenced/cancelled!!!' thing lol

Are these top-mount floyd’s?
Are these top-mount floyd’s? If so, that’s pretty on the nose. No doubt someone got a phone call soon after these were announced to the public.
I can only imagine Kiesel and Co balking at a legal phone call until a formal C&D letter shows up.
Pretty sure they're all recessed, the Photoshop touchups + low resolution just makes it hard to see.The ones on the ends look recessed, but the middle ones aren't (at least to my eye). Top-mount is what Eddie used. At least they got that right...
I'm not sure if you're serious (or what a communist industrial subsidy offset guitar is) but I think people do need to be consistent in where they draw the ethical line. I don't like Chinese knock off strandbergs any more than this Kiesel EVH. But, I also don't buy the straw man that "everything is a copy of a Strat" either.Let's pick a hill to die on with this shit at least. The way I see the wind blowing around here it seems to be:
American made splatter variations from a famous dead guy's meme guitar = bad.
Chinese communist industrial subsidy offset guitars undercutting American luthiers = good.
Price dumping. In this case specifically with products directly resultant of IP theft instead of in house innovation or development, which is not uncommon at fucking all in the East.industrial subsidy offset

On this particular subject, the EVH Kiesel, I am quite sure there is a way to do this right. I'm also quite sure Jeff Kiesel has no idea how to do that, because he simply doesn't care. It's just all hubris and profit for him. He's like the fast fashion of the guitar industry.
People are going to buy what they want, just pick a hill to die on about it is all I'm saying. Seems like a lot of folks just don't like Jeff, and as I don't have strong feelings about him or EVH I find it funny folks are picking at these guitars- which are definitely better than the frankenshit coming out of the East by every single technical and ethic metric.Tacky money grabs are only okay if they're domestic apparently.
