Aries Bolt-on

The ARIES marked a major turning point for Kiesel since its release in 2015. With its prominent bevel and effortless fret access in a bolt-on configuration, the Aries series remains the recommended guitar for beginners and pros alike. To this day, the model remains the most popular among players and offers the widest diversity of options, including five bridge types, 6 to 9-string configurations, optional acoustic saddles and output, and many more.

The series proved so popular that four spin-offs are currently offered among the Kiesel line-up: the Aries Neck-Through,Aries Titanium Series, A2, and A2 Bass.
