The guitar is a Kiesel/Carvin NS-1 from the 2010s, a stunning blend of craftsmanship and versatility. This particular model features a custom 5-piece mahogany neck with maple strips, offering excellent stability, sustain, and a smooth playing experience. The neck-through design is highlighted by natural wood binding, accentuating the meticulous attention to detail.
The flame maple top is a showstopper, with a rich, three-dimensional grain that catches the light beautifully, making it a true statement piece. The guitar’s finish highlights the natural elegance of the wood, pairing beautifully with the clean lines of the body.
It’s in good condition, with only a few minor scrapes shown in the pics that add character without compromising its performance or appearance. The NS-1 combines the feel of a high-end electric guitar with the versatility of an acoustic, thanks to its integrated MIDI capabilities and piezo pickup system, making it perfect for players seeking a unique and flexible instrument.
A rare and refined instrument for players who appreciate quality, aesthetics, and tonal versatility. These are relatively rare and Kiesel just discontinued the NS-1 so they will be harder to find the future And Kiesel also just implemented a price increase so that would be about $3500 to rebuild a similar model. Included hard shell case. I also have a Roland GR-33 and would consider bundling for additional buyer savings. Please message me if interested In bundling.
