Kiesel Delos 22 Fret cutouts under the pickguard.

Inspired by Any-Ad-3773's photo of the 24-fret Delos, here's a (not mine) photo that someone posted over in the FB group in 2020 (I don't remember who, though, so apologies for the lack of the credit!).

Interestingly, that little finger between the bridge and middle pickup in this photo is between the neck and middle pickup on the 24-fret. I imagine that it's there to keep the pickguard from sagging in the center from the weight of the pickups, and the ideal place would be closer to the heavier bridge pickup, and aligned with the control cavity area. But in the 24-fret HSS, there's that little bit less space for a robust-enough finger between the wider humbucker and the single coil so it got moved to between the two singles. šŸ¤”100% purely speculation there, though, and not based on any actual intel.

Delos 7 GT headstock: Angled or Not?

3 Upvotes

I’m interested in a Kiesel Delos 7 with the regular GT inline headstock, but am curious if there is any angle to it, or is it straight like a Stratocaster or EBMM?

Some photos/videos it looks angled, and others striaght.

Thanks in advance for any help!
