Kiesel Guitars has a long tradition of producing semi-hollow electric instruments, dating back to the 1950s. The popular SH550 Semi-Hollow Carved Top Electric Guitar reflects the Custom Shop's 70 years of building this style of guitar. Semi-hollow guitars are suitable for any playing style, and are especially popular in blues, jazz, and classic rock. The SH550 is loaded with features generally only found in boutique instruments, but because we sell direct to you, you don't have to pay a boutique price. And with hundreds of available options, you can build your SH550 exactly the way you want it, and be the proud owner
of a totally unique instrument that will last you a lifetime.
The only way to appreciate the performance of a Kiesel Guitars instrument is to use it in your own environment, giving it the test of "real world" performance. Take 10 days to try out your SH550 Semi-Hollow Carved Top guitar. If you're not completely
satisfied, you can return it - no questions asked. Your trial period starts when the merchandise is received by you, not when it's shipped. Really give it a workout. If you're not satisfied for any reason, send it back for a prompt refund or exchange
- you would only be responsible for the return shipping. (US and Canada customers only; international customers, see here)
The SH550 is built at the Kiesel Guitars Custom Shop in Escondido, California.
