New (to me) Holdsworth model.

New (to me) Kiesel score from Craig's List. A gorgeous Holdsworth model, weighing in at 5 lbs 3 oz. Got it at a great price and I will give it a good home.

My guess is that this is mahogany.

Blind Frets

Why hasn't Kiesel gone to blind frets? Even inexpensive guitars have them. They would really take these amazing builds to the next level. The exposed tang on the fretboard edge is really unsightly.

Do Holdsworth pickups have some sort of marking underneath?

I'm going to check out a used Holdsworth guitar tomorrow and is there a way to know if the pickups are Holdsworth humbuckers or not? The owner doesn't know and I'm hoping there might be some markings on the underside if I take a look.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
