No longer a feeler, I’m ready to sell or trade. Please PM any offers.
2017 Kiesel Icon 5. I take care of my gear, so it’s in excellent condition, with one minor ding on the lower horn and a slight rub mark where my arm sits (see photos). I’m happy to take more pictures as well. I find that my hands prefer 4-string necks these days, and my little monkey brain likes fewer things to think about.
· BODY: Chambered swamp ash/claro walnut top, with black middle layer
· BRIDGE: Hipshot™ A-Style, adjustable. Factory setting is supposed to be 17 mm, and I have not adjusted it.
· WEIGHT: Approx. 8.75 lbs. (can get more exact if needed, but it is under 9 lbs)
· ELECTRONICS: 18V Active/Passive Electronics, Master Volume/Push-Pull Active Passive Switch, Pickup Blend, Stacked Concentric Bass/Treble, Stacked Concentric Mid With Sweep. Shielded control cavity.
· FINGERBOARD: 14" Royal Ebony
· HEADSTOCK: Ebony overlay
· FRETS: 24 Stainless Steel Medium-Jumbo, .103 Wide X .048 Tall
· NECK: Tung-Oiled Maple/Black limba w/ Two High-Strength Carbon-Fiber Reinforcing Rods And Fully-Adjustable Dual Action Truss Rod. Luminlay Super Blue Side Dots.
· NECK WIDTH: 1.75” Wide @ Nut, 2.75” Wide @ 24th Fret
· PICKUPS: Stock Kiesel Radium KRH Radius Top Alnico Humbucker (bridge), Kiesel split coil (neck)
· SCALE LENGTH: 34"
· STRINGS: D’addario 40-120 currently
· TUNERS: Kiesel Guitars Premium Bass Tuners, 20:1 Ratio
· FINISH: Tung oil
Original Kiesel gig bag included. If you want it, I can also throw in a NOS single-coil Kiesel Radium pickup that I bought a while back just to try out, but never got around to installing.
Helpful note: If you’re thinking about swapping pickups, the bridge route is P2 size, but it’s pretty tight. So make sure you get one that’s on the narrower side of tolerances or you might have to do some light sanding/routing.
As for trades, here are the non-negotiable items:
· 4-string only
· 9 lbs or under
· No gloss necks (satin, tung oil or natural necks only)
Update: Will consider a lined fretless, but no epoxied fingerboards. Ebony fingerboard preferred.
Kinda jonesing for a Sadowsky Metro P/J, will add cash on my end.
Beyond that, I’ll be happy to look at anything. I’m open to +/- cash for the right deal.
$1500 in sale or trade value (shipping included), but that’s somewhat negotiable.
Local San Diego deal preferred, but will ship for the right deal.
Edit: Added better pics.
