      I’ve been playing since I was about 5. I’m 27 now, I’m classically trained and I play multiple genres, and I’m certainly no shill for any particular company. But I can safely say that Kiesel is my favorite. Even if you only get it as a wall decoration, it’ll still be beautiful. Very well made guitars.

      so many people don't do things right these days that when they hear a guy say "we're trying to do it right" they think he's lying. I think Jeff and his team know what they're doing and is passionate about building their brand. I love how he pays the wood guy when he gets his wood!! very smart -they will always call you first & sell you the best.

      Jeff had a video go viral where he told a customer to "Be a man" regarding a "roasted maple neck" that looked "lighty toasted" I couldn't tell it from a normal dirty maple neck, Custom order, I'd be pissed.
      way too many cool guitar companies that back their product to waste your time with one that would shame you for a critique on something they ordered. Honestly I think everyone knows what a roasted neck should look like, if it doesn't, don't market it as such.

    • @richardclark.

      People can say what they like Jeff is extremely good at what he does and since we are all in the flesh yeah arrogance and ego can slip in there but overall that is the sign of someone who has confidence and believes strongly in what they do. Personally I would NEVER buy any other manufacturers guitars OTHER THAN Kiesel because he does things the way I would do them correct and perfect.

    He seems like a top dude. I like how he talks about how HE does a lot, and how he wants the individual guitars to be top quality bit for bit. I didn’t like how he bragged a tad but. It really shows how he has passion, I admire that. Like the extremely legal wood. I respect that. Load of respect for Jeff.

      That's because you buy them directly from the factory,which was Lowel C.Kiesel's (Jeff's grandpa,founder of the company) buiseness philosophy.There's no middle man,you order the guitar from the guys who build them. Before 2015,you couldn't order a custom guitar,from them directly,if you lived outside the US or Canada,you had to order it via an official dealer.The dealer would charge you sometimes 2-3 times the factory price,they want to make a profit too,you know.Thank goodness,Kiesel/Carvin abandonded the dealers,since the re-branding,in 2015.We still have to pay extra for shipping and VAT/import taxes overseas,which can vary from country to country(the UK for example has very high taxes) but their guitars are still cheaper compared to Gibson,PRS,Suhr or other US high-end brands.
      For example,their CT6 costs,even without the extra costs,half the money you would pay for a similar US PRS Custom 22/24,despite having the same if not superior specs,like stainless steel frets.

    • @MCOGroupNews
      @MCOGroupNews 7 лет назад +2

      WoahBoomshakalaka Adding the finishes are pretty expensive if you're making a custom one, it's definitely cheaper than some of the mass produced so-called high end guitars other (larger) companies will price for twice the price.

    • @GuitarsAndSynths
      @GuitarsAndSynths 6 лет назад +1

      no middle man of guitar stores and direct sales. Impressive level of custom shop for the price compared to what Jackson, Fender, and Gibson charge almost TWICE as much for less quality.

      @daw162 4 года назад +4

      @@fearnpol4938 I've had a dozen gibsons (none right now....they're dropping fast in value) and a used carvin CT6 that I don't think anyone had ever set up. the workmanship on the carvin was better than any of the gibsons I've had, and it was straighter than most (no strange neck profiles, no hump, etc).
      I doubt gibson's quality on average is close to carvin's, but gibson does have a strong fanboy club. When gibson does nail a guitar, it's really nice, vintage feel, etc, but the quality just hasn't improved while everyone else around them has improved quality. Even current custom shop listings have issues with bridges off center, etc.
      I'm sure there are dead carvins - I was egged on to buy one only based on several people telling me that the newer ones are close to collings in fit and finish (nothing is as good as a collings, but they are so perfect that some people might be put off). The one that I got used was pretty close to the collings guitars I have and have had (but a little less refined). Gibson is not close to either.

      not the quality control id want from a guitar that costs that much, $1k + and at 11:46 in the kiesel video the cnc machine which is soo accurate to the hair, pops a big 3 inch piece of wood out of the neck lol wow and the guy doesn't even address it... hopefully that neck went in the trash! i wouldn't pay that much money for a guitar with a neck that had to have that much wood filling to fix. i know its not their fault, its just something in that piece of wood grain, but he should have addressed it on the spot and said how they would fix it or if it was defunct and in the trash. hopefully in the trash for that kind of money. idk, just my opinion. especially after working in a wood factory running these same machines, for beds and baby cribs, a chunk that big would be in the discard bin.

  • @LunatiqueRob

    I have been contemplating ordering a Kiesel Vader, and I've been on the fence about it. But after watching this video, I feel like my chances of getting exactly the customization I want, made to the highest quality, at a reasonable price point, is higher than with any other company.
    As for the comments about how Jeff comes off as arrogant or bragging--I don't know what kind of social circle those people hang out in, but in my social circle/profession (art, music, photography, writing, animation, film), everyone's very passionate in the same way Jeff is, and it saddens me that this love and pride for what one does can be misconstrued as arrogance. I've met arrogant assholes before and Jeff is nothing like them. When he criticized other companies, he was being very constructive about it and explains in detail why Kiesel does that particular thing better. He wasn't being mean-spirited about it at all.
    I guess in our society, most people consider it bad form when someone claims "I am/we are the best," even when that claim can be backed up by clear, objective evidence. The moment you even dare to toot your own horn, the public will come down hard on you because social etiquette demands that you be humble always, no matter what. This is understandable when it comes to individuals, but in the case of businesses, wouldn't you want products from a company that genuinely feels immense pride and love for what they do, and can say with total confidence that they are indeed the best?

    Glad I watched the whole thing! As it turns out, this dude genuinely loves his family, guitars, coworkers/employees, and job. This company definitely embodies what I envision "Made in America" to mean - in terms of a philosophy as well as a quality standard. In my opinion, "Made in America" products don't seem to adhere to these standards as consistently these days, which is quite unfortunate. However, when you see an operation at this scale cranking out such a high volume of incredibly detailed and high quality instruments it certainly gives me hope! I'll definitely be in the market for something from these dudes in the future - the products speak for themselves!

As a guy who has been reading guitar mags for last 40 years and always noticed the high quality Carvin / Kiesel ads, I'm amazed that you just do not see a lot of these guitars (I'm in NJ). I think I've seen a bass or 2 and 1 guitar my whole life? They were very nice instruments from what I recall, but I wish I lived in southern California, would love to stop by that showroom which was very well stocked and way cool w all the amps and stuff. Demand sounds great and there should be more out there for sure as 20 a day are going out the door so congrats to Jeff and crew!
