Ultimate Aggression
Fear Factory's Dino Cazares sees his next signature guitar in Kiesel's DINO. Based on the Kyber Headless shape, the model features an altered body, flush-mount strap buttons, and standard Raw Tone, with Digital Camo available for a limited time.
Revamped Horns and Bevels
The horns and bevels are reworked to shape a new upper body. The upper cuts are further reduced and are accompanied by slight yet defined contours.
Ultra Thin Velocity Neck Profile
With the launch of the DINO comes the Ultra Thin Velocity Neck Profile. Shaving off nearly .1 of an inch from the 12th fret, the neck profile begins to rival thin necks from other manufacturers.
Seymour Duncan Retribution
The DINO features Cazares' signature Seymour Duncan, the Retribution, which is described as having "the right amount of gain, enhanced attack definition and maximum string clarity."
Limited-Edition Digital Camo
As the second Camo seen from Kiesel, the DINO Camo scheme differentiates itself with a digital appearance in red, grey, and black.
Important note: These Camo finishes are done through a process called hydro dipping. Because this process yields slightly different results, there will be small imperfections due to the nature of dipping the guitar body through the camo-print film floating on top of the liquid. Some of these imperfections include watermarks, drips, small bubbles, smears, double-layering, or the manufacturer's logo appearing in less-than-ideal locations.
Kiesel stands behind our warranty policy but will not offer refunds (partial or full) for a camo print that is less than flawless.
