vs Fender American Professional II ($1499)
Kiesel在傳統Strat這塊,價格上完全不是Fender的對手,
而且Kiesel還要加$80運費與關稅,想要USA製的傳統Strat,Fender仍是首選。
Kiesel唯一的優勢大概是它為2 pieces body,Fender是多Pieces,但反正塗成Solid colour就沒有人在意了...
而且Fender的Sunburst不用加錢,Kiesel要選2 Tone +$80、3 Tone +$120,完全沒有競爭力。
Kiesel只有在選用1 piece Swamp Ash body + Bird's Eye Maple Fingerboard時 ($1739),面對同價位Fender USA才有一戰的實力。
vs Schecter USA Sunset Custom、Tom Anderson Drop Top Classic
音色先不論...Kiesel Delos稍微升級一下Top後,對戰Schecter跟Tom Anderson在價格上很有競爭力,
就算+$20升級成Bird's Eye Maple Fingerboard、然後把Inlay / Logo都升成Abalon也仍有餘裕。
只是在電路方面都升級後C/P值還有沒有那麼好就是另一回事了...
可以看到原本價差有$400的CS3在加了一堆選項之後跟CS6差沒多少錢,
所以想要Les Paul style的話我個人建議直上CS6,因為很多Option都變成免費。
vs Gibson Les Paul Standard ($2699)、PRS SC594 ($4100)
可以看到CS系列面對Gibson沒有價格優勢,所以喜歡Les Paul的人直接買Gibson就好。
Kiesel唯一勝過Gibson USA的地方就是使用Genuine Mahogany,兩千美元出頭在其他廠牌不可能買到Genuine Mahogany。
vs Godin Montreal Premiere HT ($1795)、Godin Montreal Premiere ($2699)、Godin Summit Classic ($2699)
先撇除Godin Montreal Premiere兩款琴身木頭是用Cherry一事,
Kiesel就算不比照Godin後兩款高階型號去選用Piezo,Kiesel的價格在北美空心琴C/P值之王:Godin面前仍沒有競爭力...
就算把一些Option換掉也沒有拉開多少價格差距,Kiesel唯一的優勢大概只剩下不鏽鋼Fret以及Ebony fingerboard而已,真慘。
以下是我的訂購規格,比較特別的是運費只要35美金!!
本來不想再用Maple top想改用Koa,但Koa對我而言不是值得花500美金的Tone wood,
最終我的訂單還是用回了普通的2 pieces flamed maple top + 1 piece black limba body...
只是用Black limba換Honduras Mahogany有點可惜...我沒用過Honduras、但Limba = Korina更吸引我--因為是神木呀~(笑)
Kiesel最划算的絕對是1 piece body,只要100美金!!
2000美金可以買到4A Flamed maple top + 1 piece black limba body在其他大廠根本是不可能的事!!
2500美金就有1 piece top,整把琴只有三塊木頭!!
要不是我現在不想花到2500買琴、不然真的很想買1 piece top~
Gibson 2500美金好像只能買到2 piece top + 2 piece body的Les paul Traditional...(笑)

使用心得: 關於重量、大小、手感、製琴工藝:
明明規格寫3.5 kg = 7.7 lbs,應該跟Knaggs Kenai一樣很輕才對,不曉得為甚麼拿起來覺得沉甸甸地,感覺上比Knaggs & Gibson還重?
以下是CEO的回覆:
thanks for your mail and well you cannot store an Guitar for months without opening it in a flight case..this you simply can`t do.
An instrument needs air while by while and a flight case inside too.
If you life in an huminity area thats is the normal process.
We are really sorry to here and see this but you simply cannot stock over monthes an guitar in a closed flight Case !
Sorry but here we can`t help you at all..
we using this flightcases since over 15 years.. never a problem, Hardware is TonPros, never a problem or other high quality parts.. but if you put an instrument for months in such a case.. it creates problems.. specially if you live in a warm and humitity area...
I am sorry but here I can`t assist you even I wish.. but we can`t do here anything...
I am now 35 years in business and I try all the time to be helpfull but I am all the time fair or true.. if you have an PRS, Gibson or other high end instrument and you have it in a cheap wood case.. there air comes in.. no problem, if you have such a durable closed Roadcase.. and this is done to be on the road... you have to open it while by while..
We love our customers and yes I do a lot for the customer but I can`t assist you and give you warranty or what ever.. if you caused the problem on your side.. you have to be fair too.. even if it is hurting you now.. but I can`t take over a mistake from your side.. you have to be fair...
Sade that we loose you .. very sade..
