I've had a Vader for about a year, thanks to your excellent review. You covered a lot and it helped me realize this was the perfect axe for me. The Vader has exceeded every expectation. Good tuning stability, tone, and playability. Comfort is great, the weight and balance spot on. I set it up with beryllium pickups so I could get clear rock & groove tones and a compound radius for versatility. The Vader makes playing fun. I chose the thinner neck profile, very happy with that. I can play endlessly with no strain at all. I consider this a modern day classic and an achievement. Thanks again for the review!
Wow thanks so much! This is why I make these videos. To help others see that these guitars are worth taking a risk on. I'm not a professional or anything so I wanted to make videos for modern average Joe players and it makes me so happy to hear people actually get something out of my videos so I truly appreciate it! 🙏
@@JimDewdGuitars I handed it off to a couple of traditional strat/tele/les Paul guys. Once the overall “weirdness “ of the post guillotine Marie Antonette headstock got past them, we all shared a collective surprise! We actually found a guitar that’s not only lightweight, amazing feet access it literally plays better than butter! I’m going to put those pickups in a few of my other guitars if I can find some for sale!

Hey Jim ,Thats one great looking Kiesel !! I was looking at them for the last few days and i decided today to buy one .Thanks for helping me decide !!
Absolutely sick guitar. Solid shreds too!!!
Good job man love the Vader for sure thing sounds great
It looks awesome bro!
Glad you love the Vader man, it turned out amazing!
Great video bro. This is your best looking guitar so far. I love a Vader model.
It's the most comfortable to play by far.
I love all your Kiesels but this one is just so bad ass and stunning.
Not as stunning as you my love! ❤️
Played a used Vader 6 dang near identical to yours. Holy chit! That thing is incredibly high speed, low drag!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love the design. Very comfortable. Amazing acces for neck thru. My new neck thru aries is also really nice. Demo and review video coming soon.

@@charlieebarb8695 they actually sell them at kieselguitars.com ive bought lots from them
@@charlieebarb8695 Yeah I was surprised how well it played to and the lightweight aspect is really nice.
Amazing review and nice axe mate 👍
Very great performance.
Thank you very much!
Are you sure that this is a poplar burl top? It looks like buckeye burl top to me but I’m not sure.
Yeah I'm sure I have spec sheet with poplar burl on it. But it does have a buckeye look to it. Very cool unique top for sure.
@@JimDewdGuitars yeah it looks awesome. Thanks for replying 👍
