Playing around with the configurator and someting like this looks totally killing for the price:
If you just keep it simple you can make some sick guitars for a good price I guess, but why da fuck can I not get the Solo without multiscale??

A bit on the low end for an Alembic, but yeah you can really make some monstrosities with the builder.
Can't help but notice the one Knightro posted is a non-returnable instrument but the one Piet showed is. Wonder why that is.

Those 8 in line headstocks are blade weapons material... serrated swords and similar... are those allowed to have by law?

They actually look decent, but is way too aggressive for the tele. This coming from an ESP/jackson fan.
Do they have another option?

Yeah, and plant a tree on the day you publish the ad.
It will be mighty tree towering over your house before it sells near that price...

It's funny how most designated custom shops don't tend to turn out quite this volume of ugliness, but then, most custom shops will charge you in a range of $7000 to $12,000 for an order. Maybe if Kiesel rendered themselves unaffordable, a few more "sober second thoughts" might win out.
The weird part is they have a virtual guitar builder, so it's not like "I'm visualizing in my mind's eye" how it will turn out, then have it turn out uglier than you anticipated. You can actually see the end product before you even start!

It could be higher.
-Change the 7-piece neck to a one-piece flamed maple (Roasted flamed maple would be even higher, but it's currently on sale)
-Malibu or Solana stain is more expensive than the spray-booth-done fades (an off-menu stain-based "Jeff to do" finish would be higher, though)
- I *think* the priciest body is a one-piece roasted ash, with RNC and gloss.
- You may already have, but did you do a satin neck with the gloss body? The satin neck is pricier.

Greatest guitar EVER! My loss, your gain....
I have an uncle who is one such rocket surgeon when it comes to financial decisions, although down the scale a bit.
In his 20s/30s when his income was very modest, he'd buy a brand spankin' new Les Paul or a nice 12-string or dirt bike almost every other year (on credit), then sell them at a HORRENDOUS loss within a year or less every time.
Even as a teenager and later college student, I'd tell him you are losing money every time! He'd always say "it's not your money, what do you care?".
Dum-ass. He's even more broke today.
Buying a new max price spec'd out K-Dream and then believing you can get a similar resale price for your tasteless "custom" shitplank is a similar exercise.
