All of the ones that @Dumple Stilzkin posted on page 14 and 15 minus the weird burst two are awesome.

But for the gold, I kiiiiinda like this. It would be better if it were just pink instead of the blue and purple and all that. Really that's the problem with 90% of these, 1 or 2 colors too many.
I surprisingly don't hate that one.
Goddamn that is hard to look at.
Will never not make me laugh that the big fancy "K-series headless" is just a Vader with a BBL.

Yeah, it’s fine if it cover, or mostly covers, the top. It’s bad when it’s a burst or splatter.
Kiesels are tacky af and I agree with the vast majority of the ones posted so far, but the color scheme on this one is pretty fucking sick. The SCB was one of the first to do the bevel and it still is the only one that does it well. (The Aries in a solid color is acceptable.) The way you can play with specs to highlight the "binding" is an aesthetic double edged sword, but when done right it looks great.
The only thing I really find offensive about this one is the abalone inlays, but in this one case they actually tie in with the teal and whitewash stain. This one actually slaps.

Man I'm all for the Kiesel hate train when it's deserved. I've even been burned by them personally, twice. But man some of you guys are just being harsh for the sake of being harsh.
It's a custom builder that people can go wild with. With the amount of output that comes out of their factory, of course you're going to get a bunch of hideous combinations. It's so weird when I see people comparing ugly Kiesel's to other non custom shop brands. Kiesel cannot be compared to anyone else as there's no one out there that outputs as many "custom" guitars as them.
The shapes, however, can definitely be picked at.

What happens when a customer asks for a frost-encrusted-shitburst finish.

Another example of a terrible thing that looks awesome on an ESP. I want to blame the customers for these terrible specs, but in a lot of cases it's the execution that takes it into a really bad place..
