The trophies are based on the brand new A2 model that launched in March of 2023.
Each one has been hand swirled by Jeff Kiesel in a 50th anniversary theme Black and Gold scheme, with a custom black inlay design across the roasted maple fretboard
The A2 (Aries 2) was created to keep up with the various advancements in the custom shop. Some of the most notable changes include the Access output jack, located on the back of the guitar to eliminate physical cable obstruction; an extra-sculpted neck heel for even easier upper fret access; and a shrunken, elongated bevel that shows more of the top wood while still maintaining as much comfort as the original Aries.
