A collaborative project between Greg Howe and Kiesel from its inception, the Lyra sees a bold take in the Greg Howe Signature. The GS package is crafted standard with a poplar burl top treated with Kiesel's signature Antique Ash Treatment and then completed with a California Burst in a selection of translucent finishes.       The extreme arm contour adorning the bass side of the body forms a natural flow for the player's arm, offering relief for extended sessions. While the shape modernizes the Lyra in the aforementioned Aries-esque bevel, small touches such as the GT headstock, pickguard, and classic plastic knobs pay homage to the classic era of guitar.       The most distinctive difference is the VegaTrem, a bridge exclusive to this model and favored by Howe, stating that the trem is "real sturdy, real smooth, [and has] no play in the arm."
