Kiesel HD6 2017 Vintage Yellow | Passive EMGs | Extras Included

This was originally ordered as an HSS with beryllium single coil pickups and a Holdsworth in the bridge. I’ve changed the pickups to EMG Marty Friedman Passives. I really like this set. They are almost like a darker Lollar imperial. They are extremely responsive and great for blues, classic rock, and some metal. These were wired with a solderless kit so it’s very easy to swap pickups. This is not an official pickguard and one of the holes doesn’t line up. See pics. I am including the original HSS pickguard.

The HEADLESS DELOS, aka HD, further revolutionizes the Delos guitar with a headless build. A smaller, more compact body creates a comfortable, lightweight instrument inspired by the famous S-style instrument.

The HD produces a classic S-style body with some additional features that make it uniquely Kiesel.

This one is a sensible build and has most standard specs with some model upgrades. There are also some post-factory upgrades that make this guitar even sweeter. Most notably the addition of a lindy fralin hum-cancelling p90 humbucker to give you the grit and growl of a traditional p90, but in a noiseless hum bucking setup. The guitar is in players condition with some slight swirling on the pickguard and some minor swirling on the body from normal play. The neck has some nice maple character and is a very fast playing and thin neck. This is the standard neck profile for this model, so fairly thin, but there is a thinner option. The specs are as follows:

Body wood: Alder
Neck wood: 1 pc roasted maple
Fingerboard wood: roasted maple
Neck radius: 14"
Inlay shape: block
Inlay material: black acrylic
Frets: medium jumbo stainless steel
Body finish: vintage cream
Bridge pickup: EMG MARTY FRIEDMAN
Neck pickup: EMG MARTY FRIEDMAN
Scale: 25.5
Controls: 1 volume 1 tone, 5-way switch
Case: Kiesel soft shell deluxe
Overall grade: B+

An additional hole was drilled in the pickguard to accommodate the lindy fralin p90 and EMGs.

It’s currently set up with nice low action and plays extremely well. Will be shipped in the Kiesel deluxe soft case.
