  Pár infó még a Kiesel gitárokról:
  For "non returnable" options, it usually comes down to a couple of things.

  1) Their ideas of what options are going to be harder for them to sell should they get it back after the trial period. For someone to buy an in-stock, most people would be "settling" for the specs, and unless it was perfect, most people would prefer to just wait a few months for the exact specs. Some people are just buying them to skip the wait, but that's not a whole lot of incentive. These options can change over time. Trans black bursts used to be non-returnable, for example.

  2) They want to limit impulse buys for new options where they don't know how they will sell yet. That's why compound radius is non-returnable. They wanted to offer it for those who really want it, but didn't want to get stuck with a bunch of guitars ordered with it right when it came out, and then returned. Same with scalloped fretboards. And it's worth noting that just because something seems popular in the greater guitar market, that doesn't mean it sells well to Kiesel customers.

  3) Some things are limited because their supply is limited, and they don't want people ordering it and using up their supply on impulse buys, like with the roasted maple and pale moon ebony. They can only roast so much because it's a very long process, to the point where they limit it to mostly just bolt-ons, because neck-throughs take up too much space in their kilns, and they couldn't keep up. Pale moon is an interesting one, because they won't even let you spec it unless you've crossed a minimum $ threshold, AND they don't allow Kiesel artists to buy guitars with it. Jeff might build an artist a special guitar with it every once in a while as a gift, but they can't get it on guitars they order themselves. It doesn't necessarily have to do with the price of the option, as a lot of people are commenting. You can add a $500 top, and a $400 7--piece neck upgrade, and it's returnable, for example. It's more complicated than that, and there's lots of exceptions both ways. In reference to your build, you misspoke about ziricote fretboard...but amusingly they actually to offer ziricote fretboards (it's just not on the builder...same with cocobolo, monkeypod tops, sometimes amboyna burl, flamed or burled redwood tops, etc)...but their supply is SO limited they save it for people willing to go through the extra step to call in. I have it on my Kiesel SH6.

  Stainless frets are standard on all Kiesels except for a few signature models (the Andy James and Frank Gambale both use nickle, and at least one of the Dan Sugarman variants has the gold-colored frets). A bummer your tuners don't seem to be working correctly. I like the ones on my 2016 and 2020 so much better than the Sperzels they used to use. As for the clear finishes, their gloss and satin are polyester polyurethane. Spraying nitro isn't easy/cheap to do in California. It's not impossible, but a regulatory pain and expense. Their tung oil used to be Minwax tung oil finish, but I haven't heard that re-confirmed in quite a few years.
