regarding Kiesels (and highly OT). Where is the thread about the faulty Carvin? I think the Kiesel guys threatened the OP and he removed the thread???

That's a Jem Floral with a Strat neck replacement and a retrofitted TOM.
That used to be an RG, and also with a strat neck replacement.

Not quite. Kiesel is an ss.org sponsor, and...

Here are some more hideous guitars:
When a customer ordered a guitar inspired by a fruit gusher they discovered on the bottom of their sneaker, Jeff politely suggested that an enormous bevel two-thirds of the way through the top could make it look even worse, and still manage to be expensive as hell:
Are you seeing glare? You hope you're seeing glare.
This inspired a headless design:
Many companies will paint a guitar up like a racecar, but only Jeff Kiesel goes that extra step to paint on the tires:
Following public criticism of .*Strandberg Guitarworks and Unnecessary Punctuation's poor quality of "figured koa" used on their limited-edition OS run, Jeff Kiesel was quick to show potential customers that Kiesel Guitars and Basses could produce the ULTIMATE in tops that resembled diarrhea:
"Alright, I think I have everything you've specified down for the order. Would you like to add some puke-green metal knobs, to take it up another notch? Hmm...I suppose we could keep the tops chrome, if you're willing to pay the Kiesel-treatment upcharge."
Binding by Dali. These aesthetic choices can all be explained by Jeff Kiesel's eyeballs being two different shapes:
In fairness, you can write jokes for most of the tricked-out Aries models.
You can't even give Carvin the benefit of the doubt and use the excuse that they're just making what their customers order, because their own samples are often so bad that it could just as easily be one of their creations.
Just to be 100% clear again the mod staff had NOTHING to do with the removal of the Carvin thread, Alex removed it. His forum, his decision.

The Kiesel showcase guitars seem to be an example of trying everything they can do but they shouldn't. I will say that the Kiesel models are building a brand identity; the foundation of which is bevels, odd paint schemes, and absolutely no bent top guitars. They are one of the few companies that I literally enjoy 0 of their exhibition models.

You don't have to put a top on an Aries or Vader just because Jeff likes to do so. I personally think both designs look great without a top, and awful (9 out of 10 times) with tops. Less is definitely more, it's just that some people think "if less is more how much more would MORE be?"

to be honest the only laughable guitar out of that bunch in the first one. All the other ones you posted are pretty cool looking guitars with beautiful tops/colors (if, IF.. you ignore hte big bevel).
that "diarreah" top you say, I think i looks amazing with the white pups and fretoboard combo. It could use some gold hardware too

Heard the Good News about Maple Fretboards?
It's pretty unfortunate that the Kiesel PR machine is causing frustrations to flow into a thread like this. I don't care for the many tops/Affliction-esque overkill on Jeff's personal collection, but I'd rock that orange Vader in a second.
Too bad their moves make me increasingly less likely to want to order one.
The Bazanga stuff, on the other hand, seems like a competent luthier with shockingly bad taste.

I almost forgot about this one.
They are not green. They are chrome, the guitar is green, the guitar bounces green light + the chrome work as a "mirror" = "green" knobs.
you dont need to understand photography to see that
they could have "fix" that in photoshop, but that really is being picky
