Glad I’m not the only one who thought that kiesel offering a Strandberg esc body shape would be perfect. It was a thing I noticed messing around on the builder is that each guitar was rounded and the input jack was always in the way of having it sit nicely to get that 45 degree angle on your right leg. I have a Zeus and Vader which I adore so if they were to ever create an ergonomic body I’d buy one in a heartbeat.

Making a headless guitar without ergonomic features such as a cutaway for leg rest kind of defeats the purpose.

+1 to a Kiesel headless with an ergo body. Just ordered a Strandberg over a Kiesel for this reason alone. Having that leg cut out on the lower bout is key.

I recently modified my Strat to be more ergonomic, sort of like a Strandberg. I moved the "football" Jack to the back of guitar, close to where the bottom strap pin is located. It turned out to be my favorite part of the Mod.

Those pickups, god damn. Super clear. I imagine the rest of the chain is super well dialled, but a couple of those positions sound bright (and full) without being at all harsh, freq wise or dynamically.

[@AndrewSouthworth]

It sounds so silly but I agree 1000%. The way a Strandberg guitar feels on your lap, how it sits with no strap, how light it is etc - it just can't be beat. I have an 8 string Strandberg, but recently I wanted to grab a 7 string with an Evertune bridge - while the Evertune is amazing, having to sacrifice headless, multiscale, ergonomic design etc is a bummer. Abasi Concepts did it, Ormsby has it, a couple companies do have designs for more ergonomic playing. Would love for Kiesel to jump on the bandwagon with a new model so I can customize the heck out of it. Really wish Evertune would release a bridge for headless guitars that supports multiscale (big ask I know), and then more headless guitar companies would adopt some of the awesome aspects of Strandberg guitars (the parts that aren't patented at least). For me the thing I dislike most about Strandberg is the lack of options, and insane high prices for anything more fancy than their base models (they have $8k models lol).

[@krystianchmielowski9176]

A cooperation between the luthier and Andre would be interesting. He could finally gather all the details and technical solutions he looks for in other guitars in one instrument. He could choose the right pickups, appropriate electronics, frets, etc. etc. Some solutions are mutually exclusive, so it would be interesting to know what compromises he would have to make? Would he succeed the first time? What costs would you have to pay to have such a "perfect" guitar? Just establishing the criteria and parts for the future "perfect" instrument would be interesting. How much would the initial design differ from the finished guitar?

Rep: Guitars without a finish (satin/gloss) are more susceptible to damage. We don't want to take back a guitar that gets dinged up.

@@andrefludd It is frustratingly easy to name three to five guitar features which are not available together for any price. The combination of a 24.75" scale length, a 42mm nut width, dual humbuckers, a hardtail bridge, and a flat (like a Fender, due to the low bridge) neck pitch (i.e. angle) leaves only the Chapman Guitars Pegasus-a signature model announced at this year's Winter NAMM show. Adding "four knobs" to that list leaves only the discontinued Fender or Squier Toronado, and adding "semihollow body" to that list leaves nothing. There is absolutely no reason that combining said scale length and pickup configuration should be synonymous with "Tune-O-Matic or Floyd Rose bridge". One way to get to zero candidates with three features is to combine those bridge and neck pitch requirements with an ES-339 body (not that I know of any ES-335 candidates either). Pretty much the only recognition I have seen of this in the market is Schecter's catalog, which includes many models that could be described as "an Ibanez model, but with a 42mm nut".
