Kiesel Unveils Kyber Headless and Masvidalien MIII Models

Kiesel Guitars has introduced the two newest models in the company’s iconic line of custom-built instruments: the Kyber Headless and Masvidalien MIII now join the lineup of Kiesel’s premium US-made instruments.


Designed to excel in a variety of musical styles, the versatile Kyber Headless is available in 6, 7, and 8-string configurations, standard or multiscale. Key features include:

  • 7 different body woods for customization
  • 25.5” scale length, 15 different fretboard woods for customization, 24 frets
  • Over 100 different pickup configurations
  • Kiesel-Designed locking nut, headpiece for hanging, optional body scoops

The Masvidalien MIII is the debut Kiesel signature model from Paul Masvidal, guitarist and composer known for his work with Cynic, Death, Æon Spoke, and Mythical Human Vessel.

Built in Kiesel's California factory, the MIII was designed with strength, resonance, and playability at its core. Inspired by Kiesel's Kyber model, which Masvidal was already connected to, the MIII began as a natural extension of that instrument but quickly evolved into something uniquely its own, a hybrid guitar that expands on the Kyber's spirit and opens new creative ground.

Key features include:

  • Woods: 5A Poplar top with a Swamp Ash body, Buckeye top with a Roasted Swamp Ash body
  • 25.5”-26.5”, Fretboard woods: Ebony, Richlite Diamond, Roasted Maple, Royal Ebony, and Roasted Birdseye Maple, 24 Fret
  • The brand-new Focus pickup, a humbucker made from two blade-style single coils that offers tighter and more precise tones
  • The Hybrid carbon fiber/wood neck, the Barbury Castle Crop Circle inlay, Headpiece for hanging,

Like other Kiesel models, the new Kyber Headless and Masvidalien MIII are available in a wide range of options for unique customization. Players can select their favorite finish, tonewoods, electronics and hardware to create the guitar of their dreams…expertly crafted in Kiesel’s Southern California custom shop.

Kiesel’s new Kyber Headless is available for street pricing starting at $1,599. The new Masvidalien MIII is available for street pricing starting at $3,199. For more information visit kieselguitars.com.
