I’m a teen but I’ve been saving my money for years and now I decided to buy a kiesel because it’s literally my dream guitar

[@SteveHughes85]

They are amazing!

[@MustangOntario]

gorgeous guitar, Kiesel stuff is always top notch

[@JuiceBox_0126]

Glad you’ve posted again

[@SteveHughes85]

Thanks man! I'm glad to be back at it!

[@ernestdameron7505]

Thank you so much for addressing the action. I don’t think there is one video that mentions it.

[@trevpeeps307]

The love/hate relationship with headless guitars that people seem to have is the only thing that keeps me from trying one

[@SteveHughes85]

I hear ya! It's a different beast. Once you figure it out, the pros outweigh the cons for sure, plus, they're so fun!

[@necrojoe]

I see people either love them, or say, "Yeah, I see why people like them, but it's not for me". It's pretty rare to see someone say they hate headless if they've tried them, outside of specific aspects of the individual models that are talking about, like Strandberg's unique neck, or a specific brand's hardware, etc.

[@lex.cordis]

Never heard of anyone hating them. I LOVE hem.

[@jirikrajnak9047]

is the kiesel hipshot trem that bad, tuning stability wise? thanks for the review either way.

[@JuiceBox_0126]

Cool

[@bishalgiri7487]

You were missing for years mate . Why did you take so long break dude

[@SteveHughes85]

Haha had a kid, moved across the country, life happens!

[@juanruizdeclavijootero7234]

Thanks! A very complete review! 👍 Only one question: this guitar has a small body and has the bridge at the end of the body. Playing guitar standing up, Is it necessary to delay the right arm to play the guitar?. I mean if the position of the right arm is natural in comparison of a regular guitar. Thank you !!!!

[@SteveHughes85]

Standing I notice no difference but sitting there definitely is a bit of a different feel, especially if you root your hand or arm to the instrument

[@JoeyRapps1]

Hey, me again, lol Did u mean the Illusionist in the bridge? The Illuminator is a Dimarzio John Petrucci pickup. I know the names are confusingly similar lol

[@SteveHughes85]

Hahah thanks for correcting me! Yes!

[@Flameron]

Nice guitar these Kiesel Type-X, and Crackle finish is my favorite , What about weight, Do you know the weight ?

[@SteveHughes85]

I don't, it's likely around 6-7

[@friendlyviolence3881]

Very cool guitar and good video. How would this sound for Death Metal? I was hoping you were going to plug it into that Triple X and do some chugging.

[@SteveHughes85]

Its actually great, the pickups are an amazing metal / rhythm pickup. The only thing they lack in, and i say that lightly because as you can tell they're still great, is individual note articulation for lead playing

[@micahwatz1148]

Its simple, 95% of guitars have high action upon arrival because it hides the fret buzz. Every guitar usually needs a set up immediately. Sometimes a fret dress.

[@johnboy10]

How well do Kiesel's stand up to your Suhr?

[@SteveHughes85]

Great question, in terms of build quality I don't notice any difference (my experience) and the setup on both when delivered to me was top notch. The only thing I suppose I can say was different is that with a suhr, you're essentially getting what they spec out to be the perfect: s-type guitar, and with kiesel you are spec'ing it yourself so....that could mean it turns out amazing or not as good and you just won't know until you recieve it.. good thing with kiesel is as long as you don't option 50 it, you can return it if it's not your cup of tea! ;)

[@johnboy10]

@@SteveHughes85 thanks for the info brother.

[@yinimin]

Does it stay in tune?

[@SteveHughes85]

Yup! I still think a floyd is ultimate but this is phenomenal
