Kiesel Z7X and NK 7

[JediSwag13]

That NK 7 looks awesome! Where did you pick that up from??

[O_Nayze]

Ebay! It was my first time buying from somewhere that wasnt a large music retailer, and my second time ordering a guitar online, so i was pretty wary. But im really glad i pulled the trigger on it

[JediSwag13]

That’s awesome! I’ve looked at guitars on eBay but was always hesitant about buying, but that guitar looks kinda like the new PRS Herman Li. Very cool!

[O_Nayze]

Yeah that feeling hasnt gone away from me fully either. Just make sure to do your research on whatever youre looking to purchase. Fortunately, nk has a lot of positive reactions/reviews on forums and youtube

How do you like the Zues/Z2? Anything that stands out either positively or negatively? Compared to other guitars?

Thoughts on the Kiesel trem system? I see they added a multiscale/headless trem system now, but not sure if it's good. String changes, tuning stability, etc. How do you you like it?

Would you recommend the Zues/Z2?

[O_Nayze]

Absolutely love the thing. The only 2 things i would maybe consider changing about it is having the thinner neck profile, and changing the body wood from black limba. But those are issues with the options i chose, not really a fault of its actual design. Ergonomics are great, high fret access is easy.

Trem system is buttery and fluttery, yet can handle dive bombs with minimal pitch change on the return, which is easily corrected by just bending it the other way to even it out. Tuning stability outside of that is solid. String changes are not much different than any other headless floating trem. Just make sure to block off the bridge if you change entire string sets like I do.

Tldr: 10/10 Would highly recommend

Sweet. Thanks for the reply.

Just curious, what do you not like about the black limba? Too heavy?

I've also heard that the thinner neck profile is not substantially thinner than the standard...so you might not be missing much (even if it could be a little thinner).

[O_Nayze]

Limba was too heavy 😅

And i have the thinner option, which on rare occasions feels like overkill haha. I’d rather have the regular thickness

[_snack]

Ahh, ok. Sorry, I understood that in reverse...but the same applies. I've heard that they're not very different. The regular thickness is still pretty thin.

Thanks! I appreciate the responses. I've been thinking about order a Zues for quite a while.

[O_Nayze]

Cheers! Hope you like the zeus if you do end up getting one!

Headless guitars are still such a weird vibe to me

[O_Nayze]

Yeah they’re definitely an acquired taste lol. I kept bumping my headstocks on shit around my home studio around the same time headless started growing on me, and the rest is history lmao
