Pretty surprising he left Jackson; he’s been with them for years.

Yeah, just saw this on IG. He played a soloist when i saw them last week, but it'll be interesting to see how this pans out.

I actually prefer this over his Jackson. :lol:

I still miss his RGD though. I know it was a stock guitar, but fuck I love the RGD so much.

Despite all the customer service horror stories that's worth entire threads, Kiesel seem to have a great track record for artist endorsements, which is why a lot of players have been switching over to them. From what I read in the Andy James thread, an endorser can receive up to five free guitars, then get 40% off on their next build, which sounds like a huge deal to me.

their inline headstock looks cheapy to me
It reminds me a lot of the headstock from the Washburn WG series...

...which yeah, was also pretty ugly IMO, and personally reinforces the cheap feeling.

i love guitars that look like they were built by the player. This ticks that box

So cool. I would rock that.
Also, what Pickup is he using?

Didn’t he used to play Floyd equipped guitars? It doesn’t appeal to me but I’m a Jackson fanboy

This is such a bummer. I'm totally in love with his pink soloist. I was almost gonna custom shop order a pink USA Soloist, would've bought one in a heartbeat if it was a production model. I mean, look at this:


The Kiesel just looks really cheap compared to that. Well, actually... anything other than a Jackson Soloist would look wrong to my eyes. Not liking this at all, haha.

blech I hate the raw tone look 99% of the time. never been a fan of kiesel's inline headstock either, always greatly preferred their 3x3 pointy headstocks.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Jackson's CS backlog.
