Kiesel CS6: Single-Cut Sophistication Reimagined. There's something timelessly appealing about the single-cut design, but most traditional approaches saddle you with that chunky neck heel that makes upper fret access feel like you're wrestling with the guitar. Kiesel's CS6 solves this age-old problem with set-neck construction that flows seamlessly into the body - no fighting, no awkward hand positions, just effortless access to every fret on the neck.
That 7A master grade flamed maple top isn't just eye candy, though it certainly delivers in the visual impact department. Paired with the mahogany body, you've got a tonal foundation that provides both warmth and clarity - the maple adds snap and note definition while the mahogany contributes that fundamental richness that makes single notes sing with authority.
The real magic happens in the details: that tung-oiled mahogany neck with dual carbon fiber rods creates incredible stability without sacrificing the natural feel that makes great guitars so addictive to play. The master grade Pale Moon ebony fingerboard provides the kind of smooth, responsive playing surface that encourages you to explore techniques you might not attempt on lesser instruments.
Those Kiesel Holdsworth humbuckers deliver serious versatility, especially when you factor in that push/pull coil splitter. Suddenly you've got access to both humbucker warmth and single-coil clarity in one instrument. The Tune-O-Matic bridge provides rock-solid intonation and sustain transfer that ensures every note rings true.
This isn't just another single-cut guitar - it's what happens when traditional aesthetics meet modern playability demands, creating an instrument that respects the past while serving contemporary musical needs.
