Kiesel Fretless 8 string

$2,999.00

Up for sale is a Kiesel DC800/DC808 8-string fretless built for players who want extended-range clarity with the expressiveness of a smooth fretless board. This one is a neck-through build with a 27" scale, an ebony fretless fingerboard, and an HH pickup layout plus piezo, giving you everything from tight modern electric tones to articulate, acoustic-leaning textures.

Finished in a clean Natural satin with a matching headstock, it’s a sleek, pro-spec instrument that feels fast, stable, and resonant in the hands. The mahogany body paired with a maple top keeps the low end authoritative while the ebony board adds snap and definition—especially useful on an 8-string.

The piezo system is the secret weapon here: blend it in for extra attack and realism, or run it for a more “acoustic” character that works incredibly well with fretless phrasing.
