I Want a Headless

How did I miss a headless thread? I actually haven't owned an electric with a headstock in like 15 years.

I have two Kleins and a Klein copy. I love them. They sound great and are easily to play. Now I just need something interesting to play.

I'd love a Kiesel Zeus, or theZ2 or whatever they call it now. They'll do a fretless too. Hmmmmm.

I’d love an O2, but I have a really tough time separating guitar from Jeff Kiesel. Dude’s a serious tool. They are nice guitars though.

I've never had any personal dealings with him, but am aware of some of the rumbling. I also know the internet loves a good target so there's that.

The call of a fretless Z2 might be too strong :).

As headstocked guitars go, I love the look of their Kira model too, especially with the 2x4 headstock. I should probably have a headstocked guitar for those 'regular gigs' I never get called for.

Yeah, the Internet does indeed love target practice. I think there are A LOT of assholes in the MI business. Some of them just wisely choose to stay off of social media. 🤣
 
I don't know Jeff Kiesel personally, but he did all the finish work on my Vader, and it looks spectacular.

They included it in their gallery.

This is Jeff showing the guitar prior to shipping it out to me.

None of the Kiesels have the leg cut I like. They are very light though.

I'm gonna sell my Schecter KM7, which weighs a ton, and get a headless. I just can't do heavy guitars. My Baum Wingman is only 7 pounds. This is a nice weight to me so 5 sounds nicerer.

Get a 'tidies! :grin I can't imagine anything being better.
 
I just can't justify 4000 on a guitar. As much as I'd love an Aristides.

I still don't know what I want though. I might, for now, put my KM7 on the Irish adverts for a price a little above what people would be willing to pay and mention in the swaps section '7 string headless only' and see if anything nice just comes my way.

And if someone does actually buy it just take the funds and buy an Ormsby.

I went through their web configurererer and if you keep the "raw" finish, they are just under $3K.

They are worth it dude, sell a kidney, pimp out your neighbors, whatever it takes.

That's ex-vat. It jumps to 3727 once the vat kicks in.
 
I've been offered a Legator from a guy in Tipperary. Any options on them?

It's a long way.

I have a Ghost 6 multiscale. Absolutely the most terrible neck/fretwork I've ever witnessed on a guitar that I've owned.

It's at a Luthier now to get refretted.

Doesn't mean anything about the one you may buy, definitely bring a fret rocker and test it up and down the neck.

The shop I used to work at carried Legator when they first started up and honestly, I wasn’t all that impressed with them. Now, this was over 10 years ago so maybe things have changed since then but overall they were just meh for me.
