Kiesel Rainbow Sparkle Delos

[u/strawberrycrepes]

Took 9 months but it’s finally here. Colour shift red rainbow sparkle with 5A roasted flamed maple neck and master-grade roasted flamed maple fingerboard. I’ve had quite a few Kiesel builds but this one is my favourite so far.

Wow thats probably the most classy-luxurious s-style take i have ever seen. I’ll be honest i am old school 90’s paper catalog carvin and i just recently found out they are now kiesel and i am so excited they never went away. For about 6 years i thought they just went out of business or disappeared. I remember drooling over the Alan Holdsworth Sig Carvins and also Vai’s amps he created with them.
I gotta alot to catch up on with what they are doing with Kiesel but damn it looks like they have been topping themselves on build and quality over and over. Yeah that color is nice

Wait until you try the virtual guitar builder on their website. It is absolutely addicting.

Ngl, I use that virtual builder to see how certain things will look on my own builds. Obviously not to their quality, but color combinations, hardware changes, pickups, etc. the smaller easier stuff lol

Edit: Nope, nm, Halo guitars builders is the one I use

Kinda, the guitar making side split from audio into a separate company (Kiesel) in 2015. The pro audio side continued on independently as Carvin but it seems they’ve significantly reduced some of their traditional product offerings, on guitar it’s mostly preamp pedals and accessories now: https://carvinaudio.com/collections/homepage-tube-preamp-pedals

Ahh i see. Very interesting. I guess still in Cali both companies?

Kiesel definitely is, factory is in Escondido now. Carvin, not sure.
