@@michaelfury9423 you're fucking high. A 10th of the price of an average Kiesel build would be $250. Also they automate parts that dont matter like body and neck shaping and do the steps that matter by hand (like fretwork). The result is a guitar that probably plays better than whatever your shit local luthier made for $300 (as you claim) Get over yourself and go practice.
Much respect for Ola always spotlighting other guitar companies, even though he has his own guitar line. That's how you know he loves his craft and his instruments.
He's not doing Kiesel a favor with this. They're paying him. Also, he gets to learn how other guitar companies do it without having to buy their guitars. Ola's awesome. That said, assuming altruism in cases even like this one is naive.
I have to say I'm excited about what Kiesel makes, really beautiful and fantastic guitars, but for the love of god.... Kiesel really needs to modernize and clean up their terrible website, its so hard to navigate and read. It looks like it was made in 1997 or something. There are many ways they can reduce the huge walls of text but still make information accessible, same with the images which you cant easily flip through. I want them to succeed of course.
100000% agree with that. Terrible website how is it possible to have a website like that in 2021 ? The customisation is Also horrible. I will never buy one New if they don't improve their website .
.....when queried about the website’s dial-up kinda vibe Jeff Kiesel probably said something like this, “It’s fucking fine, shut the fuck up, you don’t know shit!! You’re fired!!”
My Kiesels and old Carvins are maybe the best guitars I ever got, value for money they re amazing. Out of the box transatlantic shipment and still ready to play, in tune, and amazing action.
I am considering getting a Kiesel headless at some point. The thing is when I was in the market, Solar did and still does what I need. However damn man, they have the best finishes and killer options. I’ve played a few and they rocked!
@@DANCEDWAT what about strandbergs? Ok just checked no aus dealer. Pity. Get one custom made plenty good luthiers here would make you one. Have you checked ethereal guitars?
I recently picked up a hyperdrive 7 (ms) and one of my first thoughts before I even touched it was, “Well that’s a unique aroma.” Glad Ola “felt” it too!
Killer builds Ola! I have 7 kiesels with 2 more on the way and they are amazing guitars! I have an Aries and a hyperdrive and find the Aries is very comfortable and the hyperdrive is more aggressive shape but still nice to play almost like a streamlined explorer. They are really the best value custom shop on the market. Awesome video! 🤘
Beautiful guitars. It’s amazing to me that you remember your old solos from Masters of the Universe. Once I complete a song a rarely play it again and most I would have to figure out what the hell I wrote to play them again. Lol.
I have an Aries 7, and it is the best guitar I have ever played in my 25 years of playing. Sometimes Kiesel can be a meme, but they make killer guitars.
I haven’t played any of their guitars since they changed from Carvin to Kiesel, but I have two Carvins (a guitar and a bass), and both are absolutely excellent.
Been a fan off CARVIN( Kiesel) guitars since the 80's. Thye had the best catologs. Younger me would drool and drool over them. So well made back then. I bet Kiesel just as good. Cool vid. You are a lucky man.
Hello from California! I just wanted to say how much I enjoy you and Louise! You two are awesome, funny, and so cute together! I'm not a death metal fan, but enjoy your videos thanks to my husband who started watching (actually benging) your videos recently. You are so entertaining. Thanks for the laughs! Keep it up.
I have been using EVO fret wire for 5-6 years now. It’s almost as long lasting as stainless steel but much easier on your tools than stainless. It does look and feel awesome.
I've had an amazing Kiesel Aries 8 for almost a year now. It's got an evertune, and an eye-popping highlighter pink finish. The stock bridge pickup was horrible, but I recently put in a Nazgul, and it's a total monster. Being limited to an 80 for the bottom string does suck a little bit, but I guess I'll just have to get a 2nd non evertune one XD
I Like keisel and I like the Aries. Don’t have one but I like how the wood looks on the Aries. Every time I see other reviews they don’t go to the chug factor. Thanks Ola for the chug life!
a few of us in world of Warcraft where talking about you ola, and how cool your channel will it chug rocks, also had a conversation about Swedish metal and Albums like left hand path .. amazing how many of us gamers also watch your channel Hashanaha :)
I have several guitars and always go back to my 21 year old Carvin DC150 that I recently purchased after it sat in storage for that long un-noticed. Their quality is second to none. Now selling a high end Ibanez bass and will be using the builder on Kiesel to order something special.
great sounding guitars. the only thing i dislike about the looks of the hyperdrive that drives me nuts is the exposed body wood in the very far right corner. You have a nice blue maple top and then something that looks like grandpa's socks peeking from behind. I wish they carved the body so that the shape of the body wood does not exceed beyond the shape of the top if that makes sense.
Hey, nice filter for garbage. Great clean playing. For me it’s what I want to hear, can get a vibe of how resonant it is, that’s what I base my tone off. Great chops, once again!
Does anybody know where I can buy the string dampener that Ola uses on the headstock on the blue Kiesel? I have fretwraps but that clip looks so much cleaner.
Wow. I usually chug it out all day, but I must say the tone of that solo (Star shaped guitar) was fantastic. We need more guitars with walnut/maple/mahogany necks. It sounds amazing.
Ola, you ever think about doing a review episode on underground Fuzz Pedals like Black Arts Pharaoh, KHDH The Scuzz Box, or Donners Dark Mouse? Your videos Rock!!! - CNC
I have 3 Solar guitars that I love and will probably still play 20 years from now, but I also have a Kiesel Aries in the oven that I should receive in late August. Watching this video was like watching an Avengers movie lol
You’ll love the Kiesel. I placed my first build for a TypeX a year ago and have since bought a used Aris that was once played by Head from Korn, had a Vader build and am on week 13 of a LightSpeed build. They are my favorite guitars out of the 14 I own.
Pls someone answer! #1: How can I get an antique ash treatment on the to wood? Because here, the hyperdrive have an antique ash treatment top wood if my eyes not cheating... #2: And if someone knows the hyperdrive's detailed specification, pls write it in a comment to me! In advance, thanks!
The top wood is flamed maple, with Sapphire blue? Or Aqua, hard to tell. By additional options are California Burst with translucent black burst edges combined. But i have a hard time telling which body wood is using here.
I wish my Vader bass would be nice...I had all possible problems with that you probably can have with a guitar...I have a feeling that the quality of those they send for promo to artists are different than the regular people get.
They hooked you up with da creme de la creme lol. I have an Aries and an Osiris and they are both phenomenal guitars. The pickups are different, but it’s very refreshing to switch to sometimes.. they definitely cut through the mix

Can't ignore the chance of reviewing awesome guitars ;)

“Call my guys”
My Kiesels and old Carvins are maybe the best guitars I ever got, value for money they re amazing. Out of the box transatlantic shipment and still ready to play, in tune, and amazing action.
What a kick ass solo you have played with the Kiesel „Star-Shaped“ guitar!
How did you made this effects.?? .. I want it!!!!
wonder if that was from a song or improvised because that sounded like magic, and I don't usually enjoy solos on the guitar!
Definitely thought some System Of A Down was gonna kick in on the intro there haha
Welcome to the jungle
Youre not the only one man! XD
Was thinking the same
Damn, I almost made a comment about that. Sounds like P.L.U.C.K.
P.L.U.C.K.? :D
4:58 That was some proper Chuck Schuldiner tone right there
The guy from Axe of Creation usually plays a single cut Kiesel that looks pretty good.
I have a Kiesel Aries 7 string coming in the next 6 weeks or so.
I am considering getting a Kiesel headless at some point. The thing is when I was in the market, Solar did and still does what I need. However damn man, they have the best finishes and killer options. I’ve played a few and they rocked!
Kiesel are the first brand that have me interested in headless, sadly in AUS.. importing them is insanely expensive.
@@DANCEDWAT what about strandbergs? Ok just checked no aus dealer. Pity. Get one custom made plenty good luthiers here would make you one. Have you checked ethereal guitars?
This video showed up again after 3 years and that Hyperdrive still looks sooo good!
Love the Aries with the clean, ebony headstock cap with the nice top.
I think it's badass they sent you them to demo!
I've always wanted a Kiesel.
Thanks for the video man!
05:51 "While I'm playing, I feel a smell." Another priceless quote from the book of Ola.
I recently picked up a hyperdrive 7 (ms) and one of my first thoughts before I even touched it was, “Well that’s a unique aroma.” Glad Ola “felt” it too!
Those guitars looks so high quality! Since Carvin they made great guitars! Reminds me the great *JASON BECKER* !
Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘🇵🇹
Everything from kiesel guitars is a work of art, one of my dream guitar brands to have
Good friend of mine recently purchased a Kiesel headless strat. Looks and sounds fantastic.
Killer builds Ola! I have 7 kiesels with 2 more on the way and they are amazing guitars! I have an Aries and a hyperdrive and find the Aries is very comfortable and the hyperdrive is more aggressive shape but still nice to play almost like a streamlined explorer. They are really the best value custom shop on the market. Awesome video! 🤘
Hey Justin!🤘
Hyper Drive has a Dime spirit to it. I would buy it.
I love my 2014 Carvin SH65 & 2016 Kiesel Aries 6... lifers for sure!
Beautiful guitars. It’s amazing to me that you remember your old solos from Masters of the Universe. Once I complete a song a rarely play it again and most I would have to figure out what the hell I wrote to play them again. Lol.
love the fact that besides you owning solar you still review other guitars and love them..
I have an Aries 7, and it is the best guitar I have ever played in my 25 years of playing. Sometimes Kiesel can be a meme, but they make killer guitars.
That Aries though, dude...classic superstrat look, GORGEOUS finish and woodwork, and sounds absolutely wicked!
Awesome vid. Kiesel guitars are works of art for sure. I'm still blown away with my build. They really took care of me. Cheers 🤘🏽
@@marcxdestroyer any pics of your build? I’m looking to order one soon! 🤘🔥
those were both gorgeous. That neck on the hyperdrive though... wow! I would just keep staring at it. so pretty! great sounding chugs too!
I haven’t played any of their guitars since they changed from Carvin to Kiesel, but I have two Carvins (a guitar and a bass), and both are absolutely excellent.
After a long time,this review is finally come.

Glad you're loving these guitars Ola! Kiesel make fantastic instruments
Ola playing clean tone always brightens my day
I really liked the new camera angle, shooting down the neck, from the headstock.🤘
There are just too many incredible guitars in this world for a mere mortal like myself 🥲
I like the way the Hyperdrive sounds best. I love neck-through-body guitars 😍🤘🏼
Thanks for reviews . I've bought quite a bit of gear based on your reviews . Keep up the great work !!!
we need flame maple necks on solar guitars
Do more guitars demos . I dig those
No surprise here, great instruments. I think Zappa once sang " I love your Carvin style" in one of his songs.
Been waitin' for you to revisit these two. Cool stuff man.
Ordered myself a Type V, super excited waiting for it to be built!
I own one of Kiesel best guitar ever plays and feels so good straight out of box very impressed with quality
I think those P/U's sound pretty brutal & very articulate.
Some people don't like them because they have a bit more treble in there, perhaps. Sound pretty great here!
Beautiful! Those guitars would never get back in their case at my house!
I love that you showcased them while running a competitive brand.
Badass opening riff!
Man, if i was a good guitarrist and had the money i'd buy a kiesel vader. So damn good
spectacular the kiesel guitars, the Hyperdrive model is brutal ... like the solar ones ... make them scream man
Does anyone know which string dampener is that at 0:18?
I have been using EVO fret wire for 5-6 years now. It’s almost as long lasting as stainless steel but much easier on your tools than stainless. It does look and feel awesome.
I have always loved watching your videos, but sometimes it's like watching someone else eating the cake I can't have. Thanks for all you do
It's called: envy
I have always been an Ibanez kind of guy and I have a Jem... but that guitar gives me wood ;o)
Great video! I’ve always liked the aesthetics of Kiesel guitars, and they sounds wonderful! Might send for one someday.
My friend has 2 and they're 2 of the best guitars iv ever played. The pickups rule too. Seriously great stuff.
I've had an amazing Kiesel Aries 8 for almost a year now. It's got an evertune, and an eye-popping highlighter pink finish. The stock bridge pickup was horrible, but I recently put in a Nazgul, and it's a total monster. Being limited to an 80 for the bottom string does suck a little bit, but I guess I'll just have to get a 2nd non evertune one XD
Great stuff! Always love your riffs. That Ares is gorgeous too!
Love the necks on both guitars!
Beautiful! Man, they make some amazing guitars. I ordered my custom Aries in April. The wait is brutal but I’m sure it will be well worth it.
Loved hearing that The Haunted riff on the Aries!!!
My Aries 7 string multiscale is my profile pic. It and my Balaguer Archetype are tied for my favorite guitar.
I Like keisel and I like the Aries. Don’t have one but I like how the wood looks on the Aries. Every time I see other reviews they don’t go to the chug factor. Thanks Ola for the chug life!
Does anyone have an idea about what type of delay or reverb made that lead section at the 4:55 sound that awesome?
I was wondering the same thing
Sounds to me like a wet/dry/wet tone. Has that late 80's vibe.
@@majesticpbjcat7707 If I knew the exact meaning of "wet/dry/wet", that would be great I guess. :)
@@ahmetkayrayavuz1421 Google it or RUclips it. Can't think of a brief way to explain it.

Makes sense, my thoughts exactly.
I’ve been wanting a kiesel for years I really want a Vader and a Aries one day one day love that beginning riff btw 🤘
I'd love to see you unbox these next time.

Wondering the same exact thing
I don't think this is the exact same thing Ola is using, but I've heard about Jimmy Clips, they look quite similar to that and serve the same purpose.
Just find any piece of soft foam you have laying around and put it under the strings. Problem solved.
Awesome guitars. And you make it more awesome when you played it Ola🤘
Wow. I usually chug it out all day, but I must say the tone of that solo (Star shaped guitar) was fantastic.
We need more guitars with walnut/maple/mahogany necks. It sounds amazing.
loved hearing some chugs from my favorite The Haunted song 7:42 💜🖤💜🖤

Was gonna buy a solar but now I’m gonna have to get a kiesal. Thanks ola
Killer builds! Great video man!
Those pickups sound so tight and punchy
I wish my Vader bass would be nice...I had all possible problems with that you probably can have with a guitar...I have a feeling that the quality of those they send for promo to artists are different than the regular people get.
"While I'm playing, I feel a smell"????
How does one accomplish that feat!
Easy.
Step one - be born in Sweden or Russia.
Step two - speak English.
No problem for the giant Swede!
He put that stank on it why of course
The tone from that Aries .. Yeah 👀 💜
I am mostly intrested in superstrats, but that hyperdrive is freaking amazing
I was suprised to see the Hybridrive model. It reminded me of a Jackson Kelly star.
*Hyperdrive
Love my ct6 and dc135.
Love my Kiesels. The headless models are sick.
hello, got this backing track ????? please .....
They both sound massive!
I have a Kiesel bass and a guitar. Both of them are quality guitars.
