Loved the video, this channel should have way more subs. Hope you're still making videos!

I have been bamboozled. and that kiesel sounds amazing

The "dark" sound was Leo attempting to give an option to sound like a Bass, as the PBass wasn't invented until 2 years later. Try balancing the switch between front and middle and you can use the Capacitor AND the Tone Knob together.

That switch and bait was genius, you got me

Send that piece of junk one PUP Esquire to my house and let ME be disgusted. Wait. What's taking you so long?? Get crackin' Get it over hear so I can disgust in all its rotten glory. By the way ... You CANNOT find one of these just like this, in the entire Fender line. All there is anywhere close is the ugly Brad Paisley ... And yeh, that switch is really cool. And I LIKE the far forward switch position; and yeh, it was used to make up for a lack of other instruments. That was back in the days when musicians were hard to find. Nice playin'.

Great pocket and touch!

Actually fender was not the first solid body guitar, and not the first to use 6 in line tuners Paul Bigsby built a solid body guitar for Merely Travis in 1948 Leo Fender went to see Merle he borrowed that guitar for a week, if you see the head stock you see where Leo got that idea

fantastic tune and guitar

The kiesel sounds incredible.

I think it was a Nocaster at some point no?

Fantastic video....and your playing is off the charts!

Ice demo, thank you! Question : can you change the bpm in the drumtracks ?

The clean presets sounded very good. Nobody talks about reliability? I read the battery life is short, your thoughts?

I fell in love with headless guitars a few years back and I just cant go back. ill play a guitar with a headstock sure, but I likely wont buy one. idk I just love everything about them. the look, the feel, and the fact that most people hate them lmao. I cant get enough. recently I decided I wanted an acoustic, but I was slightly reluctant because I thought I would need to get one with a head stock. was heavily leaning towards a fender acoustasonic. however I discovered these bad boys and man, I am beyond stoked these exist. they're sort of out of my budget at the moment, but just knowing they're a thing has made me so happy. ill def get one day, and man I cant wait. these things are so cool! Also, in the process of looking into these guitars, I found your channel. love the content man, you have a great energy about you, are informative, and entertaining. Your channel deserves to have way more subs dude. keep up the good work my man, ill be back!

Seems to bring the funkiness out of the whitest of people. I’m in. I’m going to buy one. I’m white, I could use some funky.

Great review, better than the others I’ve seen on here, thanks!

Channel should be huge - great content

Hey forgive my ignorance but the track you play - is it an original or a cover? its got a helluva groove - i could turn that into a great song..! You play superbly.

Both guitars sounded the same to me. I am impressed.

I think my biggest problem with the Zeus is ONLY having piezo. I hate the way piezo sounds and guitars that are doing built in modeling like the Acoustisonic and the Martin Aura and guitars with built in mics all have a much more natural sound. I’ve had a couple of Alvarez guitars with just piezo and never liked the way they sound vs my Martin GPC Aura GT with the preamp that models different mics. The sound of just the piezo on the Martin vs heavily blending in the Aura mic sim is night and day better to my ears once the mic sim is added.

I know there is a guy in Japan that somehow has access to getting ESP parts and he makes these guitars from time to time and some have the headstock like yours and some have the Fender strat type headstock with the ESP logo on the front.

This is my favorite song you cover awesome job

very nice playing man

Nice ripping!!

This opening tune is very Ratt influenced. Nice job brother!

Great video! You just using your Monitors for the sound?

Very cool. The black stripe by the input jack was not actually painted on the Kramer. It was just gaffer tape put there to help find the input jack.

Hey... awesome stuff... it dors not say pn the box that it has a gigantic input resistance or noise gate... wich teally bugs me out.. funky little thing... but the input threshold really makes it annoying to play. with...

you suck

This is seriously the best review of a guitar lol

I'd SO love to play this hybrid picking style like you, mate! 👍

Excellent review! I play acoustic baritone guitars, primari9ly a Tacoma baritone tuned to A. I'm considering eventually obtaining an eletric version. Thankyo0u for your review!

Man that is awesome, great find!!!🎸🎸🎸

Great video! Your playing is excellent and who doesn't love a real '56 Tele!

I miss my 1951 Esquire. I paid $100.00 for it. Original Case.

Both sounded great. Filipping the audio was a cool idea. I thought to myself that I preferred what I thought was the zeus because it was a little bit more clear and defined, but I also thought that most people would prefer the «Martin» because it was fuller. Interresting how the smaller body actually sounds bigger than the real acoustic. Cool video, and very good playing as well. Cheers!

I have one of them. My one has a very strange finish. if you rub your hand on it you can feel the stripes, especially the black stripes. It feels like it could have done with some extra sanding. The white stripes on mine on the front have faded to cream too. The 5150 stickers have been removed from mine but the paint under them has stayed white so you can still make them out.

Whats the name of the color? Stain or translucent? Matte or raw tone finish? Thanks!!!!!

What kind of guitar are you playing? Thanks.

Kiesel’s have gotten quite expensive and I’m concerned about their resale value. Wondering about your sound demo at 8:00 - Beside the Capo are you playing Standard or Open Tuning?

I wish you still made videos. I enjoy your channel a lot.

This guitar goes so hard!

Thanks for letting us know you switched the sound of the Martin and the kiesel plugged in. The kiesel sounds waaaaaaaay better!

great video !

Enjoyable video - I've subscribed.

Sounded REALLY full! Very nice.

These are very decent instruments definitely on my bucket list.

Do you know if the very first year 1989 where made by ESP and not Edwards which where made later .

It’s probably not true but the more I listen to Esquire’s the more they sound better than a regular Telecaster!🧠🤯🔫

i have a Zeus Acoustic like this w/ a figured walnut top. it's extremely wall made and a fantastic gigging acoustic. i liked it so much i just picked up a headless Osiris w/ 3 single coils. really well made guitars.
