I understand Kiesel to be the same people that built my Carvin CT6 24 and I expect the Kiesel will be as good, maybe better than that killer instrument.

2000 CARVIN GUITARS TRIAL
I had no reservations because of all the eye witnessed history I had combined with their trial period / return policy. When the time finally came that I needed and could afford a custom new guitar in 2012 there was only one choice = Carvin. I have had many friends, bandmates and acquaintances that owned Carvins and they all loved them. Sadly for me, even though Carvin's prices were great, they were still out of reach for me for many years and I continued to buy used. It wasn't until I stumbled into Jim Mouradian's (Chris Squire's Graphite Bass builder) shop that I saw anything remotely close. Those two instruments were far and away the highest quality I had seen or would see for many years. This was a pretty rare and awesome thing at that time. I saw my first Carvins close up and personal in the early 80's when a bandmate and his older brother ordered a Bass and Guitar, both neck through body designs. Lately, I've been rotating among my Kiesel's playing them every day. I've had good experiences with the customer service as well. It's hard to understand why a builder would spray a sticky coating all over the back of the neck like so many do. I like unfinished necks and that is easy to come by with Kiesel. If that is your requirement, then I'd ask Kiesel if they can do that.
The necks on the Kiesel instruments are comfortable but not baseball bat size (not thin either). The attention to detail is on par with what any other American crafter has to offer. From that standpoint they are priced better than any of the others. I can get an American crafted custom guitar and not have to pay the middle man so to speak. What stands out to me about Kiesel is their direct sales. They are very well made and I enjoy them as much as any other brand. I own several Kiesel guitars and many other brands including PRS, Knaggs, Fender, Gibson, Mayones, etc.
