I just love listening to what you create with a guitar. You, sir, are amazing. Thank you for what you give to anyone who will listen.

My biggest regret on my first Kiesel (DC600H), was not using a salesman. Shoutout to Chris Hong, for making my following two axes, they are amazing.

Bolt-on neck-through you know what man I have a Les Paul Modern with the scooped back and without it I don't think I can easily solo because my hands are not that big. Depends on the guitar but I like the feel of neck-through.

That clean tone low E string was hitting so hard 😍 bass for days lol. Black & Gold Delos is my favorite of yours. Loving these video's. Hope when your done going through your collection you continue the series with other guitars.

Awesome video Thomas! Hutch was using a fret warp on the 2nd fret on today's morning session stream.. lol.. Years ago i sometimes used to tie a sock around the neck to avoid those noises and to prevent open strings from ringing.. (Before the fret warp invention) But i found it also removed some of the over/undertones or whatever its called, and it made it sound a bit more sterile.. I dont think Blackmore or EVH used it, and i think not using it gives the player a more raw and human sound. But then again for someone like MAB and his double guitar, some sort of fret dampening is a must.

That thing about satin being a missed opportunity on that awesome top is the exact same thing I thought the first time you showed this guitar on a video. I feel the same, nothing beats gloss with highly figured tops.

I had some minor regrets on my first Kiesel build but none of them are deal breakers. I ordered a satin finish on my solid 1 piece Black limba body, a trem for the headless and medium jumbo frets. The guitar is still amazing so I'm not too bummed but i just placed a order for a new guitar. Tung oil finish this time so the wood will pop, Jumbo frets and no trem. Its tough to choose sometimes.

I think that guitar looks awesome even with a satin finish.

Beautiful clean tone, did not see that coming

I prefer neck through, but that is mostly nice when you are north of fret 22. But that is a personal thing, I guess.

That guitar is Beautiful, I would look into a good color sand and buff if you want the gloss on it, That maybe be a inexpensive option.

Send it to a pro and have it sanded and re-cleared with gloss. I have many weeks left waiting for my Kiesel. I went satin solid black w/ Jumbo frets. I was going crazy trying to pick a top and color so I went with a nice subdued look. I considered the med jumbos as well but didn't want to risk it and hearing your thoughts on them makes me happy I chose the jumbos. I'll go nuts next time with the finish. I've never had anything but flamed so thinking a nice quilt next time.

Wow man, your playing is excellent. Love the guitar too, thanks for the post.

You can turn a satin finish into a gloss finish pretty easily. How they colored it might also play a role in hiding the figuring.

You can definitely have any luthier polish it to gloss and do a re-fret

Check out the Jimmy Clip! It stops the overtones from ringing. You clip it on the strings past the nut.

In the beginning was like you wanted to crush this Kiesel DC-600. Hopefully the poor guitar endured your abuse :-P. Awesome video Thomas!!!!!

Lol don’t upset the fret wrap police!!!

Awesome!!
