Description
The V49K, part of Kiesel Guitars and the Kiesel Guitars Custom Shop's Vanquish Series bolt-neck basses, is a radical departure from our other bolt-neck basses, yet maintains the Custom Shop's reputation for superior build quality, unbeatable tone, excellent playability, and a long list of available options. The many new features of the Vanquish Series put these basses in a class by themselves, and Kiesel Guitars is excited to offer bassists the ultimate instrument, available in 4, 5 and 6 string configurations. Many bassists prefer the sound of a bolt-neck bass, which is generally described as "more punchy" than a set-neck or neck-through bass. The V49K is made in the USA, and is loaded with features generally only found in boutique instruments. However, because we sell direct to you, you don't have to pay a boutique price for your new V49K. With hundreds of options available, you can build your V49K exactly the way you want it, and be the proud owner of an instrument that will last you a lifetime.
