If this tickles your fancy, build your own at the Kiesel Guitars/Carvin Guitars website. With all the options, this guitar came to about $2100, direct from Kiesel Guitars/Carvin Guitars, although the base price is $899. They are definitely part of the modern vibe of the axe, rather than the vintage part, so bear that in mind, they’re no PAFs. I’ve talked about the Kiesel Passive pickups in my other review, but I’ll reiterate: they sound killer. The woods used in this guitar were nothing short of primo, and made me fantasize about which ones I would choose, should I decide to plunk down the scratch for one of my own. It was also quite striking with the Evo Gold frets, which are a nice compromise between the typical nickel/silver frets and the harder stainless steel. I love a nice birdseye fretboard, and this one did not disappoint. Arm contours are very important to me in particular (if you follow my reviews you know this), but even if you don’t need one that bad, it’s visually streamlining and adds some serious sex appeal (one of many reasons I enjoyed holding it in front of me). The look of the bevels on this guitar (and on ones that have a third layer of wood peeking out between the top and back) really sets it apart from other guitars in its class. I enjoyed the upper fret access, and having upper frets to access, and the feeling of the guitar’s significant, but not burdensome, weight. But I think the one I played struck a fine balance between the old and the new, without sacrificing any mojo from either. The styling and feel of the guitar is evocative of an LP, and with different options (a Tune-O-Matic bridge and mahogany) it could be even closer. I think this guitar fills a definite niche – someone who wants a modern axe, but not something as modern as a Vader, Strandberg or a Teuffel. The axe I reviewed had a pirate map-y spalted maple top I viewed through a transparent green finish on a limba body, with a matching headstock. Frills are few and far between on this lean machine (of which mine was green), with a simple Hipshot hardtail bridge and clean good looks. Okay, so it’s fairly descriptive – straightforward, like the guitar itself. As the first guitar created by a third-generation Kiesel, the SCB calls back to traditional Kiesel specs with its neck-through construction while remaining. I was chatting with Jeff Kiesel on his FB page, and he offered to make a. SCB stands for Single Cut Bevel, for reasons I can’t possibly begin to comprehend. Late last year, I was going to buy a new guitar, had my heart set on a Carvin CT7. It’s still a classic shape, but it’s updated, classier. Continuing this metaphor, I’m gonna say the SCB is like the cool, hip uncle guitar. In the video, I liken the SCB6 to a Les Paul, which in my Strandberg review from yesterday I called the ultimate dad guitar. Since Kiesel will build almost anything, you’ll find some interesting guitars out there on social media today. That’s before you start adding items to the guitar to customize it. This, like the others I have played, did not disappoint. The D6 Kiesel Delos is sold online for 1,299 direct, even though the list price s 2,299 for the instrument.
