New Kiesel Order
Posted: Wed Jun 03, 2020 1:58 pm
Just placed my order for a new Kiesel Custom order. Quoted up to 18 weeks for delivery, so this is a long haul build.
I have been wanting a Crescent (like a more-modern PRS CU24) for a while, and I'd priced out a ton of different configurations, always trying to get something close to what I wanted without spending a fortune. But, my company is doing very well (I work there, don't own it! LOL) so we're getting bonuses this year, so I figured I might as well build my dream guitar. Here are the specs:
Crescent with Hipshot Tremolo
Black Limba Body
5 piece Black Limba neck with 2 maple stripes
Master Grade Quilted Top
Custom 3 color fade from Blue-Aqua-Green
Tung Oil Finish on back of neck
No Headstock overlay (so you can see the 5-piece neck from the front)
Royal Ebony Fretboard
Abolone Staggered Offset Dot fret markers
SS medium jumbo frets
Acoustic Saddles & Electronics
Beryllium pickups with white coils
Chrome Hardware
Metal Knobs with Abalone tops
Abalone Logo on headstock
10-46 Elixirs
Hard Shell Case
Here are the guitars that inspired this build
for the colors
and for the master grade quilt top, I want something similar to this, with the tubular quilt
and I kick myself everyday for selling this PRS that I had a few years ago, it's what really inspired this build!
