The Carvin / Kiesel thread

[Seabeast2000]

Another rando question, anyone know what type of nut does Kiesel use with the Hipshot trem installs?

Good job me placing an order one week ago

Seriously. They are really trying to tempt me to break my 1 year of no guitar buying

 

[cardinal]

Sure, why not. https://www.kieselguitars.com/type-x/

I don't hate it, but couldn't imagine buying it over the Vader.

I hate X/Star shapes with the longest horn pointing to the floor. Nope nope nope.

This is truly the year for those designs though. Between Balaguer, BCR, and now this, we went from 0 to 60 in like a month and a half.

I'd like it more if it was just a traditional star shape but headless.

 

[Dumple Stilzkin]

I think it’s cool. But I would still go vader or zeus over it.

 

[Frostbite]

That thing is awful looking lmao. It's like no thought went into the bigger horn placement at all.

 

[I play music]

That thing looks funny!
But my first thought actually was that I think you can neither put this in a rack guitar stand nor in a guitar hanger (because headless)

Weirdly they have them hanging on the wall by the bridge, but how the hell does that work if the bridge is a trem lol.

It's probably a wall mounted stand like this:

I don't know how to feel about this.

On the one hand, it's a keisel.
On the other hand the straight version looks alright.
On the other hand the fanned version is the Kieseliest thing I've ever seen and hurts my eyes.

 

[lurè]

the 8 string version looks a bit goofy but I dig the 6 and 7 string

Right, but in the picture above, one of those legs is holding up the guitar by the bridge.

 

[r3tr0sp3ct1v3]

Just to note. This is neck through so you can remove neck pickup. Single pickup star shaped headless

I agree that would be better, but the flat end where the headstock is chopped off is just never going to look all the way right with the four other pointy ends.

yeah, it needs a pointy end of the neck.
