Kiesel has unveiled its new Leia guitar.

What's unique about this new headless single-cut is that every element - from the body wood to the fingerboard material to the pickups - is completely customizable. The guitar can also be fitted with a trem or fixed bridge.

The Leia - which combines elements of the company's Vader, SCB and Zeus models - is available in a seven-string iteration, with a 25.5-inch scale, and a six-string iteration, with a 24.75-inch scale length. 

The price and release date of the Kiesel Leia guitar have yet to be revealed as of press time.
