So, I have had the Kiesel for around a week. The SS frets are awesome, and a pleasure to do bends. It has the Kiesel pickups which are surprisingly nice. You can get some serious punchy and defined tones with them. The neck is also great, it feels a little thinner than my soloist. I have looked at the guitar up close, and cant find any flaws. They mad a great guitar. The quality, tone and playability are up there with some great guitars. It would be safe to say I am very pleased with the guitar, and it is a 1300 bucks well spent!! I am going to try and get some sound samples up soon. Playing it through my Masotti x100m and loving it!!
