(I know that's NOT going to include the pic)...
Effective use of a dbl neck, HH / SSS ... altho no headstock(s), blech

More effective would be a 25" scale 22 fret HH and 25.5" scale 22 fret SSS (well, HSS for my taste).

If you're going to go double neck, this would seem to be the way to go. My back would thank the headless after only 10 minutes I'm sure.

I haven't actually watched the video (only scrubbed through it) and it looks like it only weighed 9.8lbs. Did I see that right?

It is listed as a "Fire Finish".
I like this one more than the other fire finishes that I have seen.

Agreed, maybe it's the satin, but it seems more muted and less ostentatious, which I like.

Re: Pics from Kiesel/Carvin's social media
Other ones I've seen, where the customer posts their new guitar Day photos, the color is definitely much more muted and much less Ronald McDonald. They love to show off their guitars Under the Sun, and under the halogen- like lighting in the showroom which really makes the colors pop...
This Vader is also in a fire finish, and there are photos of it around elsewhere that make it look just as bright as most of those other photos we've seen with a vibrant yellow and red. I think it looks a thousand times better in this video.

I also have to wonder if the specific body helps. It is an Osiris, so the body is already smaller than some other models, and then there is also a bevel taking up for side, so if they made the yellow perimeter ring as white as it would on any other model, it would almost reach the center line of the body. By making the perimeter burst thinner, I think that helps make the Finish look a little less extreme.
