I don't hate it as much as I should.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

It's one of the more tasteful monstrosities Kiesel has produced.

We're going to start make judgemental pronouncements regarding someone's opinion of the GPOTD now?

no... i was just stating "there it is"... as in, the gif of someone destroying a guitar.

Kinda cool for what it's trying to be, but not very appealing.

Sorry... Kiesel guitars have left such a bad taste in my mouth that I can't really give two shits about any of them regardless of how they look.

My cash would go to something like this instead:

Yeah, I really love it. If I could find one on the used market in the $500-800 range I'd try my luck, but with all of the Kiesel horror stories of late I would never order one new.

Oh yeah. Cup = filled.

This has @Jbird written all over it.

 

[Guitar Heel]

I really like it, but I'm with ya on the finish.

 

[grover]

No No No! Glad this was followed up with a part II to wash this out of my brain. What's left of it anyway after all the years of abuse.

Stops UPS driver before he gets back to his truck to return it.

I could see having a bit of fun with it, especially if it didn't have the Kiesel stink all over it.

 

[jp_nyc]

That’s horrible. It looks like somebody tried to repaint it with brushes from Home Depot and liquid acrylic from Michael’s.

 

[PunkKitty]

I like it.

 

[LeftyTom]

Nope.
