The A2, 2023's most popular Kiesel guitar, followed the original Aries in its bolt-on construction. To reach a wider range of tastes, the Neck-through Aries 2, or NA2, comes onto the scene in early 2024 as the sixth and newest addition to the Aries series. The NA2 changes critical features to distinguish it from its predecessor, such as the seamless neck heel, tonal and stability differentiation, and the other benefits accompanying the neck construction.
