What’s the consensus on Kiesel guitars? - The Gear Page My Kiesel is hands down the best playing and sounding guitar I have ever owned The action is incredibly low and playing the guitar is completely effortless to the point you can play for 5 hours straight and not even notice it Its that good The fretwork is flawless and the finish and every fine detail is on par with the very best guitars I have owned or played
Recent Kiesel build quality? - The Gear Page Has anyone gotten Kiesel in recent months? I just got my second Kiesel and the build quality is much worse than the previous one, four years ago And there are serious fret buzz on several positions Does anyone else feel the same way?

What’s the consensus on Kiesel guitars? - The Gear Page In addition, I can think of only maybe 3-4 original posters on the Carvin Kiesel site that are left, while there are MANY long term posters on this site My 2 cents Kiesel CAN make amazing instruments, but my experience hasn’t been great
Kiesel headless OR Strandberg Boden? - The Gear Page The two premier headless guitar makers are Kiesel and Strandberg but neither have places to try out their guitars (at least nowhere near me) How the heck does anyone make a mail-order decision on a multi-thousand dollar guitar like this when you can't try them out first?
