Excellent example of a Kiesel A2 (Aries 2) from the original 2023 A2 Run, hand-marked “A2 Run #102” and signed by Jeff Kiesel on the back of the headstock.

The A2 represented the evolution of Kiesel’s popular Aries platform, retaining its bolt-on construction while introducing a redesigned radiused neck heel, revised body contours and rear Access output jack for improved ergonomics and upper-fret access. Kiesel notes that the A2 became its most popular guitar model of 2023. 

This particular example has a killer understated natural wood aesthetic with black hardware, dual direct-mounted humbuckers, 24-fret fingerboard, ring-style inlays and Kiesel tremolo. At only 7.27 lbs, it’s exceptionally comfortable while still feeling substantial.

Condition

Excellent overall condition. Very clean and well cared for, with only minor signs of normal handling/play visible upon close inspection. Frets have tons of life remaining, and the guitar plays beautifully.

The natural finish really lets the grain of the wood speak for itself, while the all-black hardware gives the guitar a clean, modern appearance.

A particularly cool opportunity to grab a numbered and Jeff Kiesel-signed example from the original A2 launch run, rather than simply a later-production A2.

Includes original Kiesel gig bag.
