iesel Guitars (part of the Carvin
Guitars team) has been designing
and building revolutionary and
trend-setting guitars right here in
the U.S. for 70 years. Located in Escondido,
California, their custom shop makes just
about everything you can imagine including
headless guitars, multi-scale fanned frets
guitars, 6, 7, and 8-string guitars, extended
scale baritone guitars, and more, for
professional musicians and hobbyists alike.
Similar treatments for bass guitars are also
available. The customer can choose a la
carte style from a myriad of options and
upgrades for their purchase like woods,
fretboard inlays, electronics, pickups, paint
job, and fret material. Aesthetically, their
carved top guitars feature breathtaking
woods and finishes that will make you drool,
and guaranteed, turn heads.
For this review, Jeff Kiesel sent me the A6T
model, which is an abbreviation for “Aries
6-string w/Wilkinson tremolo,” a sharplooking axe designed for rock n’ rollers and
