Seems like everyone on youtube is just raving about the Keisel Vader. It looks cool, if you like headless guitars, but it looks a pinch small imho. Everyone I see playing live looks like they dwarf the thing. Makes me wonder if it's really that small. Sorta the same thing with the strandberg guitars. Again looks cool, if you like funky shapes and headless guitars, but looks small on every player I've seen standing up and holding one. Anyone have either of these? if so, size wise, how to they compare to a standard guitar just with the size of the guitar body?
Also, the lithium pickups. I've heard mostly rave reviews on these pickups and dudes from wads of very heavy bands swear by them. However, they sound a bit weak to me? Not enough bottom end, not enough CHUNK/KRUNCH going on, sorta lifeless. To wit, here is a vid from THE FACELESS where a guy plays a kiesel vader with lithiums and it just sounds lacking imho. Whaddya think?
