For sale is an amazing Kiesel Solo single cutaway electric guitar. All the original build specs from Kiesel are shown on that last two photos. I am not the original owner: I bought this on Reverb a few months ago and found myself with a few too many guitars. The only reason I'm selling this one is that it is similar enough to two of my other guitars and I slightly prefer them to this one (if you're curious, those would be my RR3R Jackson with FR and SD pickups as well as a Kiesel Vanquish with floating bridge and similar pickups).
Highlights:
- Mahogany body with a maple top under that vintage cream glossy paint, and bolt-on thin profile maple neck
- Jason Becker "JB" style wiring with two tone and two volume pots, one for each pickup, a three-way toggle pickup selector, and three mini-toggle switches for coil splitting each pickup (the upper two) and phase reverse switch (the lower switch) giving the player of this guitar "All The Tones"!
- Two humbuckers: Kiesel Holdsworth neck pickup, Kiesel Thorium bridge pickup
- Original Floyd Rose floating bridge (aka tremolo bridge)
- Compound radius fretboard 12"-16" good for chords playing by the nut and fast playing and easier bending up around the 12th fret and above with a gorgeous birdseye maple fretboard
- Stainless steel jumbo frets with the more vintage 22 fret option
- Original hard shell case - a premium upgrade from Kiesel
Those specs add up to a guitar that is like a vintage T-type single cutaway with a bunch of "hot rod mods" that someone might have done in the 1980s except these are original build specs, not mods, and they're better than what was available 40 years ago.
There are zero - seriously, none at all - blemishes on this guitar! If you tilted it to reflect the gloss you might find a pick scuff or two. Maybe. No dings anywhere that I could find, and none that happened in the few months that I've owned the guitar.
Price is just under what I paid for it a few months ago. This is my first time selling a Kiesel - I love them, and I don't like letting them go. However, I have to be realistic in that this one overlaps two of my other even more specialized guitars so I'm going to pass this along to someone who wants to play a seriously versatile, extremely high-quality and fun to play guitar!
Setup info for reference: I have kept this guitar in my guitar / amp room where humidity is kept at 40%. I do not and never have smoked in the house, and neither has anyone else! Currently installed on this guitar are Stringjoy Signature strings that sit right between the classic "super light" and "light" gauges (Stringjoy Signature "soft touch" gauges .095-.044). The intonation, truss rod, and action have all been setup for these strings.
The guitar comes with its OHC that I will overpack into a cardboard guitar shipping box packed with an obnoxious amount of packing material. I don't mess around with shipping, and you can see my reviews for verification!
