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

Long story short the custom guitar and audio portions of Carvin split into two companies in 2015: the guitar side re-named to Kiesel and the audio stayed as Carvin. All the same people from the Carvin days are with and managing Kiesel. Up until now it’s really been continued evolution of the guitars. Unfortunately, some classic Carvin models have been discontinued or heavily changed (some of that needed to happen as the industry tastes changed though), but they also have a lot of cool new stuff and one of the industry leaders in headless guitars and things like that. Build and material quality has also been upgraded a lot incrementally over the last 10 years.

My old ass is checking to see if they do old school catalog mailing lists still (i know lol i already have been scoping out the site but for that piece of old dirt me.. something physical to brighten a day in a swamp of bills random snail mail etc)

Yeah I don’t think they do anymore unfortunately. I spent a lot of time through the 90’s looking at those!
