I try not to jump on the kiesel hatewagon but man, what a massive eyesore.

I think it's cool to have the option of a FF/normal doubleneck, and while 12/6 up to 16/8 seems like the obvious doubleneck options I can theoretically see the need for the current string options if you're in a really, really bad tech death band, or in a really really bad dubstep-with-guitars djent band etc etc

But the bevels! The freakin bevels! God, I wish I was on as many drugs as Jeff was when he designed this. He must be having the best time, just completely off his face on crack and believing that he is totally killing it

I eagerly await the first no string all bevel guitar from Kiesel.

The all bevel 0 string guitar will be a sight to behold for sure. And I think he was on crank, not crack.

By the way, if Jeff joins us here, he should use the screen name, "The Bevel Devil"

It blows my mind that they've made three headless-8-string-multiscale models but, not a single regular baritone 6 string model.

I guess long scale sixers aren't in demand?

I'm pretty sure you can order a Vader 6 with 27" scale.

I think you actually can get some of the 6s in 26.5” scale.

Headless double neck is pretty cool but the way they cut and joined that body shape just looks lazy.

Also those Grabber Blue bevels look exactly like the blue plastic container I eat my lunch out of every day...

I honestly really wish someone from Kiesel was a frequent poster here. I know Mike Jones has an account but he never posts, and I doubt he browses at all.

Chris Hong used to post fairly often until things started going all whacky.

That's too bad... I feel like it would help their brand out if they had someone addressing these concerns and actually communicating with their customers.

Go figure right? :lol:

Chris was very helpful while he was here, but the second that Jeff couldn't delete any thread he wanted he pulled his staff from here. Took his ball and went home.

I dunno. Some of the bashing on Kiesel is definitely legit, but a lot seems pretty petty, and there’s nothing to be gained from trying to address that stuff. It would be hard for any business to find a person who could reliably short through and respond only to legit complaints without lashing out at the silly stuff and making everything even worse. Seems safer to funnel the company’s responses through official channels.

They don't have to respond to everyone and everything. There's no way to.

But it's good having an official source of information.

That's what Chris was really good at. It's a bummer he's gone.

I would actually save up and risk buying one if they did.

I miss chris. He was my only human-interaction experience I had with Kiesel and it was always very pleasant.

Truth be told, I'd still be buying Kiesels if it weren't for Jeff and I-can't-remember-who that sort of berated customers, simply because my own personal experiences were great. (god forbid things go beyond Chris' abilities, I might be fucked out of thousands... No thanks.)
