@@michaelfury9423 you're fucking high. A 10th of the price of an average Kiesel build would be $250. Also they automate parts that dont matter like body and neck shaping and do the steps that matter by hand (like fretwork). The result is a guitar that probably plays better than whatever your shit local luthier made for $300 (as you claim) Get over yourself and go practice.
I have to say I'm excited about what Kiesel makes, really beautiful and fantastic guitars, but for the love of god.... Kiesel really needs to modernize and clean up their terrible website, its so hard to navigate and read. It looks like it was made in 1997 or something. There are many ways they can reduce the huge walls of text but still make information accessible, same with the images which you cant easily flip through. I want them to succeed of course.
100000% agree with that. Terrible website how is it possible to have a website like that in 2021 ? The customisation is Also horrible. I will never buy one New if they don't improve their website .
.....when queried about the website’s dial-up kinda vibe Jeff Kiesel probably said something like this, “It’s fucking fine, shut the fuck up, you don’t know shit!! You’re fired!!”
Much respect for Ola always spotlighting other guitar companies, even though he has his own guitar line. That's how you know he loves his craft and his instruments.
He's not doing Kiesel a favor with this. They're paying him. Also, he gets to learn how other guitar companies do it without having to buy their guitars. Ola's awesome. That said, assuming altruism in cases even like this one is naive.
My Kiesels and old Carvins are maybe the best guitars I ever got, value for money they re amazing. Out of the box transatlantic shipment and still ready to play, in tune, and amazing action.
I am considering getting a Kiesel headless at some point. The thing is when I was in the market, Solar did and still does what I need. However damn man, they have the best finishes and killer options. I’ve played a few and they rocked!
@@DANCEDWAT what about strandbergs? Ok just checked no aus dealer. Pity. Get one custom made plenty good luthiers here would make you one. Have you checked ethereal guitars?
I recently picked up a hyperdrive 7 (ms) and one of my first thoughts before I even touched it was, “Well that’s a unique aroma.” Glad Ola “felt” it too!
Killer builds Ola! I have 7 kiesels with 2 more on the way and they are amazing guitars! I have an Aries and a hyperdrive and find the Aries is very comfortable and the hyperdrive is more aggressive shape but still nice to play almost like a streamlined explorer. They are really the best value custom shop on the market. Awesome video! 🤘
Beautiful guitars. It’s amazing to me that you remember your old solos from Masters of the Universe. Once I complete a song a rarely play it again and most I would have to figure out what the hell I wrote to play them again. Lol.
I haven’t played any of their guitars since they changed from Carvin to Kiesel, but I have two Carvins (a guitar and a bass), and both are absolutely excellent.
I have an Aries 7, and it is the best guitar I have ever played in my 25 years of playing. Sometimes Kiesel can be a meme, but they make killer guitars.
Hello from California! I just wanted to say how much I enjoy you and Louise! You two are awesome, funny, and so cute together! I'm not a death metal fan, but enjoy your videos thanks to my husband who started watching (actually benging) your videos recently. You are so entertaining. Thanks for the laughs! Keep it up.
Been a fan off CARVIN( Kiesel) guitars since the 80's. Thye had the best catologs. Younger me would drool and drool over them. So well made back then. I bet Kiesel just as good. Cool vid. You are a lucky man.
I have been using EVO fret wire for 5-6 years now. It’s almost as long lasting as stainless steel but much easier on your tools than stainless. It does look and feel awesome.
I have several guitars and always go back to my 21 year old Carvin DC150 that I recently purchased after it sat in storage for that long un-noticed. Their quality is second to none. Now selling a high end Ibanez bass and will be using the builder on Kiesel to order something special.
I Like keisel and I like the Aries. Don’t have one but I like how the wood looks on the Aries. Every time I see other reviews they don’t go to the chug factor. Thanks Ola for the chug life!
Kiesel has been quietly making some spectacular guitars! Ola, have you ever played Mayones guitars? I have a Regius 7 I love and plan on a Duvell soon.
a few of us in world of Warcraft where talking about you ola, and how cool your channel will it chug rocks, also had a conversation about Swedish metal and Albums like left hand path .. amazing how many of us gamers also watch your channel Hashanaha :)
Wow. I usually chug it out all day, but I must say the tone of that solo (Star shaped guitar) was fantastic. We need more guitars with walnut/maple/mahogany necks. It sounds amazing.
Ola, for every single intro in your videos there is a killer heavy metal tone!!! Please, what is your signal chain? What amp do you use? Is it fractal? Plugins? Best heavy metal tone on the internet, period.
Ola, you ever think about doing a review episode on underground Fuzz Pedals like Black Arts Pharaoh, KHDH The Scuzz Box, or Donners Dark Mouse? Your videos Rock!!! - CNC
I've had an amazing Kiesel Aries 8 for almost a year now. It's got an evertune, and an eye-popping highlighter pink finish. The stock bridge pickup was horrible, but I recently put in a Nazgul, and it's a total monster. Being limited to an 80 for the bottom string does suck a little bit, but I guess I'll just have to get a 2nd non evertune one XD
Hey, nice filter for garbage. Great clean playing. For me it’s what I want to hear, can get a vibe of how resonant it is, that’s what I base my tone off. Great chops, once again!
great sounding guitars. the only thing i dislike about the looks of the hyperdrive that drives me nuts is the exposed body wood in the very far right corner. You have a nice blue maple top and then something that looks like grandpa's socks peeking from behind. I wish they carved the body so that the shape of the body wood does not exceed beyond the shape of the top if that makes sense.
I have 3 Solar guitars that I love and will probably still play 20 years from now, but I also have a Kiesel Aries in the oven that I should receive in late August. Watching this video was like watching an Avengers movie lol
You’ll love the Kiesel. I placed my first build for a TypeX a year ago and have since bought a used Aris that was once played by Head from Korn, had a Vader build and am on week 13 of a LightSpeed build. They are my favorite guitars out of the 14 I own.
Another great video! I'm planning on having Kiesel build a C3 or C6, with an Adam Jones touch....Silverburst!! Still debating on some details before I place my order, but I'm really liking what I hear about Kiesel. One of my conflicts is which pickups to go with. Maybe it's addressed in other comments, but which pickups were in the guitars they built for you? I'm actually thinking of sending them, at the very least, a Seymour Duncan pickup for the bridge. Maybe a Kiesel Holdsworth for the neck?? Another question is whether to go with a gloss finish vs a satin; really leaning towards a satin for some reason.....more Metal looking. Any comments from Adam Jones fans will be appreciated. My goal is to build a guitar that features both AJ and Kiesel...not trying to exactly duplicate the Gibson Les Paul Custom Signature. Great job, as usual Ola!
They hooked you up with da creme de la creme lol. I have an Aries and an Osiris and they are both phenomenal guitars. The pickups are different, but it’s very refreshing to switch to sometimes.. they definitely cut through the mix
Great to see you trying Kiesel finally! I've got a Carvin DC727 (double cut 7 string, rounded body sides, Floyd) and a Kiesel AM7 (Aries Multiscale 7), and my brand new Neck-thru Aries should be finished any day now!
I wish my Vader bass would be nice...I had all possible problems with that you probably can have with a guitar...I have a feeling that the quality of those they send for promo to artists are different than the regular people get.
Thanks Ola, cool video ! Why don’t you ever try guitars while standing ? I like to feel the equilibrium of the guitar when I play it, does the head stock fall down? Do I have to hold the neck while playing to prevent it from falling ? It would be annoying right ?
Man Kiesel, Solar, Abasi, Musicman and Ormsby are beautiful guitars its really hard to decide, there are so many options now days. But the only problem is each of these brands cost an arm and a leg.
MONDAY MAN! WAZZUP?
Wwwwwwaaaaaazzzzzzzaaaaaa uuuupppppppppp!
Wazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzup Ola
No
Ola....will you ever do the tristram town theme for riff of the day? I'll never stop asking.....Cheers my dude!
WAZZAAAAAAAAAAAA UP
I have a hyperdrive 8 incoming and I'm stoked 🤙🤙🤙
Stoked to see that one Dean. Your builds are rad! 🤘
Hey, look at this fuckin overachiever. Get outta here.
JK. Luh U, boo

Can't ignore the chance of reviewing awesome guitars ;)
What guitar company did he owned?

The funny thing is, it used to be way better.

@@pickledparsleyparty all Isis was point out the leel íf respect he gives others. I didn't say he was goddamn Batman.
Definitely thought some System Of A Down was gonna kick in on the intro there haha
Welcome to the jungle
Youre not the only one man! XD
Was thinking the same
Damn, I almost made a comment about that. Sounds like P.L.U.C.K.
P.L.U.C.K.? :D
My Kiesels and old Carvins are maybe the best guitars I ever got, value for money they re amazing. Out of the box transatlantic shipment and still ready to play, in tune, and amazing action.
What a kick ass solo you have played with the Kiesel „Star-Shaped“ guitar!
How did you made this effects.?? .. I want it!!!!
wonder if that was from a song or improvised because that sounded like magic, and I don't usually enjoy solos on the guitar!
I have a Kiesel Aries 7 string coming in the next 6 weeks or so.
The guy from Axe of Creation usually plays a single cut Kiesel that looks pretty good.
I am considering getting a Kiesel headless at some point. The thing is when I was in the market, Solar did and still does what I need. However damn man, they have the best finishes and killer options. I’ve played a few and they rocked!
Kiesel are the first brand that have me interested in headless, sadly in AUS.. importing them is insanely expensive.
@@DANCEDWAT what about strandbergs? Ok just checked no aus dealer. Pity. Get one custom made plenty good luthiers here would make you one. Have you checked ethereal guitars?
This video showed up again after 3 years and that Hyperdrive still looks sooo good!
Love the Aries with the clean, ebony headstock cap with the nice top.
4:58 That was some proper Chuck Schuldiner tone right there
Those guitars looks so high quality! Since Carvin they made great guitars! Reminds me the great *JASON BECKER* !
Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘🇵🇹
I think it's badass they sent you them to demo!
I've always wanted a Kiesel.
Thanks for the video man!
Good friend of mine recently purchased a Kiesel headless strat. Looks and sounds fantastic.
05:51 "While I'm playing, I feel a smell." Another priceless quote from the book of Ola.
I recently picked up a hyperdrive 7 (ms) and one of my first thoughts before I even touched it was, “Well that’s a unique aroma.” Glad Ola “felt” it too!

Hey Justin!🤘

I love my 2014 Carvin SH65 & 2016 Kiesel Aries 6... lifers for sure!
I haven’t played any of their guitars since they changed from Carvin to Kiesel, but I have two Carvins (a guitar and a bass), and both are absolutely excellent.
Everything from kiesel guitars is a work of art, one of my dream guitar brands to have
love the fact that besides you owning solar you still review other guitars and love them..
I have an Aries 7, and it is the best guitar I have ever played in my 25 years of playing. Sometimes Kiesel can be a meme, but they make killer guitars.
That Aries though, dude...classic superstrat look, GORGEOUS finish and woodwork, and sounds absolutely wicked!
Awesome vid. Kiesel guitars are works of art for sure. I'm still blown away with my build. They really took care of me. Cheers 🤘🏽
@@marcxdestroyer any pics of your build? I’m looking to order one soon! 🤘🔥
those were both gorgeous. That neck on the hyperdrive though... wow! I would just keep staring at it. so pretty! great sounding chugs too!
After a long time,this review is finally come.
Glad you're loving these guitars Ola! Kiesel make fantastic instruments
Hello from California! I just wanted to say how much I enjoy you and Louise! You two are awesome, funny, and so cute together! I'm not a death metal fan, but enjoy your videos thanks to my husband who started watching (actually benging) your videos recently. You are so entertaining. Thanks for the laughs! Keep it up.
Been a fan off CARVIN( Kiesel) guitars since the 80's. Thye had the best catologs. Younger me would drool and drool over them. So well made back then. I bet Kiesel just as good. Cool vid. You are a lucky man.
Hyper Drive has a Dime spirit to it. I would buy it.
I really liked the new camera angle, shooting down the neck, from the headstock.🤘
Ola playing clean tone always brightens my day
Thanks for reviews . I've bought quite a bit of gear based on your reviews . Keep up the great work !!!
I like the way the Hyperdrive sounds best. I love neck-through-body guitars 😍🤘🏼
Been waitin' for you to revisit these two. Cool stuff man.
I have been using EVO fret wire for 5-6 years now. It’s almost as long lasting as stainless steel but much easier on your tools than stainless. It does look and feel awesome.
Ordered myself a Type V, super excited waiting for it to be built!
I own one of Kiesel best guitar ever plays and feels so good straight out of box very impressed with quality
spectacular the kiesel guitars, the Hyperdrive model is brutal ... like the solar ones ... make them scream man
I have several guitars and always go back to my 21 year old Carvin DC150 that I recently purchased after it sat in storage for that long un-noticed. Their quality is second to none. Now selling a high end Ibanez bass and will be using the builder on Kiesel to order something special.
I Like keisel and I like the Aries. Don’t have one but I like how the wood looks on the Aries. Every time I see other reviews they don’t go to the chug factor. Thanks Ola for the chug life!
No surprise here, great instruments. I think Zappa once sang " I love your Carvin style" in one of his songs.
Beautiful! Man, they make some amazing guitars. I ordered my custom Aries in April. The wait is brutal but I’m sure it will be well worth it.
I love that you showcased them while running a competitive brand.
There are just too many incredible guitars in this world for a mere mortal like myself 🥲
Kiesel has been quietly making some spectacular guitars!
Ola, have you ever played Mayones guitars? I have a Regius 7 I love and plan on a Duvell soon.
I have always loved watching your videos, but sometimes it's like watching someone else eating the cake I can't have. Thanks for all you do
It's called: envy

Great stuff! Always love your riffs. That Ares is gorgeous too!
Great video! I’ve always liked the aesthetics of Kiesel guitars, and they sounds wonderful! Might send for one someday.
Beautiful guitars Ola
I think those P/U's sound pretty brutal & very articulate.
Some people don't like them because they have a bit more treble in there, perhaps. Sound pretty great here!
Ola, for every single intro in your videos there is a killer heavy metal tone!!! Please, what is your signal chain? What amp do you use? Is it fractal? Plugins? Best heavy metal tone on the internet, period.
Badass opening riff!
Love the necks on both guitars!
Ola, you ever think about doing a review episode on underground Fuzz Pedals like Black Arts Pharaoh, KHDH The Scuzz Box, or Donners Dark Mouse?
Your videos Rock!!! - CNC
Awesome guitars. And you make it more awesome when you played it Ola🤘
I have always been an Ibanez kind of guy and I have a Jem... but that guitar gives me wood ;o)
My friend has 2 and they're 2 of the best guitars iv ever played. The pickups rule too. Seriously great stuff.
I've had an amazing Kiesel Aries 8 for almost a year now. It's got an evertune, and an eye-popping highlighter pink finish.

Do more guitars demos . I dig those
Damn Ola,you've always been a great player.But,I believe through practice through covid you've leveled up my man.🤘👍
Hey, nice filter for garbage. Great clean playing. For me it’s what I want to hear, can get a vibe of how resonant it is, that’s what I base my tone off. Great chops, once again!
Whoa! Those are Beautiful! Great riff buddy. Heavyyy

Makes sense, my thoughts exactly.
Great intro man! Shiiiiit! I really like the Aries.
Beautiful! Those guitars would never get back in their case at my house!

Love my Kiesels. The headless models are sick.
My Aries 7 string multiscale is my profile pic. It and my Balaguer Archetype are tied for my favorite guitar.
My brothers worked on those guitars! 😊👍
Loved hearing that The Haunted riff on the Aries!!!
I’ve been wanting a kiesel for years I really want a Vader and a Aries one day one day love that beginning riff btw 🤘
loved hearing some chugs from my favorite The Haunted song 7:42 💜🖤💜🖤
They sound amazing!
That opening was brutal!!!
Was gonna buy a solar but now I’m gonna have to get a kiesal. Thanks ola
I am mostly intrested in superstrats, but that hyperdrive is freaking amazing
They both sound massive!
Man, if i was a good guitarrist and had the money i'd buy a kiesel vader. So damn good
The tone from that Aries .. Yeah 👀 💜
The driven solo part at 04:55 has a cool Death vibe
I wish my Vader bass would be nice...I had all possible problems with that you probably can have with a guitar...I have a feeling that the quality of those they send for promo to artists are different than the regular people get.
cleaner and more detailed distortion than most guitars ive heard on this channel.
Olas solar pickups arent the greatest.
Thanks Ola, cool video ! Why don’t you ever try guitars while standing ? I like to feel the equilibrium of the guitar when I play it, does the head stock fall down? Do I have to hold the neck while playing to prevent it from falling ? It would be annoying right ?

we need flame maple necks on solar guitars
Those pickups sound so tight and punchy
"While I'm playing, I feel a smell"????
How does one accomplish that feat!
Easy.
Step one - be born in Sweden or Russia.
Step two - speak English.
No problem for the giant Swede!
He put that stank on it why of course
