Kiesel Aero

[AlbertA]

Aero Release

The Aero takes the best elements of the acclaimed contemporary Kyber and A2, but adds a unique twist of tradition inspired by the Delos. The rounded body edges, pickguard, and bolt-on construction pay homage to the classic "golden age of guitar" while enhancing the features to match the modern...

the fucking hipsters i swear to god


this is why we cant have anything nice anymore

No on the headstock; yes on the rest.

Agreed except... I'm not 100% on the pickguard, with the Ventilation Cutouts for No Reason™, either. Maybe if there were a 9 band EQ or something useful...

Otherwise, I think that HSS Sunburst is a pretty cool crossover look. (Reminds me of the Sunburst Parker MIDIFly I used to have, in that regard.)

Headless HSS + 22 frets would be interesting as well (limited options out there, other than the Delos HD)

That finish is something I'd normally be on the fence about but it looks great in combination with that neck. Agreed on the missed opportunity for a built in 9 band eq

Lob the headstock off that HSS and you have my attention.

I like the design. Good take on a modernized Strat type design.

The dual output jacks seems a bit pointless tho.

[newholland]

yeah im gonna no for every reason.

 

[metropolis_4]

It looks like it wanted to be a headless, but it forgot

I like the pickguard with some of the body showing through the vents! That could look really nice with the right color combo

I don't mind it, Kiesel make stuff way uglier than this

That headstock though

 

[mbenigni]

Almost as ugly as a tele headstock.

 

[JiveTurkey]

Almost as ugly as a tele headstock.

[Alex Kenivel]

Body shape, okay.
Pickguard, no.
Headstock, phallic.
