Body

Supporting an Alder body, Kiesel TV6 is able to deliver a bright and clear tone without being harsh. Alder is also light in weight and resonates more.

On top of that, there is also an option to customize the back with either satin or tung-oil finish. With the help of a 2-way adjustable truss rod, you can easily adjust the string action of the TV6. And the dual carbon-fiber rods provide additional stability and endurance to the guitar.
The sturdy neck-through design provides greater sustain and allows Kiesel Type-V TV6 headless guitar to stay longer in tune. Thanks to its smooth neck heel that allows for easy access to the higher register of the fingerboard.
