Holdsworth was a genius and you were the perfect partner to create some of the best and most innovative instruments. I have a fatboy and that guitar sounds so much bigger than it is, with gorgeous well defined tones. Thank you Mr Kiesel for making music history and a fantastic guitar making company

Allan continues to inspire me. It was fascinating to hear how he contributed to design of the modern guitar. The Holdsworth pickups sound fantastic in my Leia.

Thank you so much Mr. Kiesel for remembering such a Maestro of Maestros, while sharing all the inside information with us disciples of the man!🙏 Utmost respect and what a wonderful plus touching tribute to the one and only 🎸🎼Allan Holdsworth 🎶 Had the honor of seeing him perform live two times and sharing a few very inspiring words along with photos he gracefully allowed to be taken which are cherished for life. He is missed but his Music lives on✨️🫡 P.S. Owner of an original Carvin neck-through/flame-top/Floyd Rose/HSS/Sperzel locking tuners w/graphite nut and ebony fretboard🎸 Elite level instrument⚡️

Incredible to see how many specs that are Kiesel staples today came about from collaborating with Allan! This is also a testament to Mark's brilliance in being willing and able to make it happen. Hope more of Allan's models are brought back. Either as limited runs, or permanent additions. Would also be cool to see his logo as a 12th fret inlay (the circular one with spokes on it) Though, i'm sure it's closely guarded by copyright.

Allan's playing on Soft Machine's album from 1974 entitled "Bundles" is staggering to me. And I don't even play guitar! I'm just a fan of jammin' good music, And this album is it... Oh, And EVH regarded Holdsworth as a GOD! RIP Maestro...

Sorry, Jeff: You're very cool, but your dad is SUPER-COOL. The generational knowledge your family has accrued is amazing. And to put it in service of arguably the greatest guitarist who has ever lived says a lot about you all, I would humbly argue. Cheers!

Thanks for the video. I love my Holdsworth Fatboy HF2S. I bought it to celebrate my 51st birthday. Not long after I received delivery, Carvin began offering the Holdworth Headless, which I've been wanting ever since. It just seems life expenses keep getting in the way! Hope to get one at some point before my time's up on this planet! Thanks again for reminiscing about your friend Allan Holdsworth. Great to hear.

So nice to see Mark breakdown Carvin and Allans history. I had a nice chat with Mark about this very subject. I had the original H22 pickups and a Fatboy. Got to play the latest headless model with the new pickups. To me this is the culmination of their work together.

Allan was truly a giant in the history of modern guitar playing and compositional structure. Zappa thought he was the $hit back in the day. I wish they both could have worked on a project together, That would have been the ultimate session. maybe an errant track is hiding in the Zappa vault archives somewhere...

Having the greatest electric guitarist of all time on your books for so long says it all about Kiesel really. I think I am right in saying that this is the longest that Allan worked with anyone (20 years+). We all miss him so much.

The Beryllium and Holdsworth pickups are definitely the best humbuckers they offer. I have experience with almost all of the Kiesel pickups...I guess I just prefer lower output.

Fantastic video, thank you for sharing this historic information. The world needs to keep discovering this man’s legacy and unparelleled genius. I was lucky enough to see Alan perform numerous times and as anyone who had the pleasure to do so will attest, it was an absolutely religious experience. You knew while watching and listening to Alan that you were witnessing a one-in-a-hundred year talent. Alan deserves to be on the Mount Rushmore of musicians along with the likes of Coltrane, Parker, Davis etc. There is a void without him in this world. A true uncompromising artist who deserves to be studied and remembered.

Terrific insights! Allen had way more structural knowledge of guitars than I thought. I can understand him preferring alder to poplar, but I was always surprised that he didn't prefer mahogany over either. Or even maple, like famed ancient violins and cellos. Any idea why? Also would have thought that the thru-body neck design would maintain all the advantages of internal bracing, heavier neck, etc. That was a surprise.
