It's a Kiesel TL60T and it's trying very hard to win your affection.

It's a Kiesel TL60T and it's trying very hard to win your affection.

Indeed. Like the streetwalker with track marks who just vomited on your brand new shoes, that guitar is practiced in the art of seduction.

I like it in priciple, but the top . Also, horrible choice of inlays considering the flamey fretboard.

Gimme fretboard dots and a less-vomit-inducing top, and we'll talk.

 

[jp_nyc]

That's hideous. Kiesel guitars seem to get uglier every time I see one.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Woof

 

[Jbird]

It might be a 'player', but I've never cared for that type of burl top, and CBHScott is right, that gorgeous fretboard should've had dots or no inlay at all.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Bear in mind gentle Wieners that this is a built-to-order custom. And she's someone's pride and joy.

 

[Jbird]

Looks like the fret material is the gold EVO frets. Do they look gold to anyone else, or is it just me?

Thanks for my new sig!

Like the hooker with a heart of gold....

 

[LeftyTom]

I'd want a different fingerboard and inlays.

 

[jelloman]

It can try, but it won't succeed...

 

[Guitar Heel]

I like it aside from the inlay.

 

[Grant Gross]

Might be the ugliest guitar I've seen in months.

 

[instantsteve]

It is an assembly of materials that might be beautiful in the presence of other more subtle elements, but I swear the combination is awful! And that leopard look rug or whatever makes it worse!

 

[sleewell]

I like the top but that's it.

 

[wagdog]

I dig it.

I bet it looks nice in person.

 

[Chad]

I would never buy anything from Kiesel.

 

[DFB]

I have played TL60's and thought they were nice guitars. That one might play nice,but talk about butt ugly.:belsmash:

I keep my Thorn strat in the padded case that my Kiesel came in... with the white lettering on the bag carefully blacked out.... as a reminder of what a wasteful, smouldering, non-returnable piece of shit purchase that guitar was, as a reminder to never get swayed by oogly-googly online photos ever again. I have almost made something playable out of that guitar after I replaced the neck, the pickups, the electronics, the bridge, and did some modifications to the body so it isn't a mahogany boat-anchor of a body.

Kiesel can build something for you if you care about how the guitar looks... if you're looking for a resonant, inspiring, musical instrument... shop elsewhere.
