Kiesel Aries (New model)

[ferret]

New model teased today on Facebook. So far all they've shown is a headstock, in this case the new pointy inline. Full reveal in 5 days, they're saying reveal more each day like with the Vader release.

Confirmed: This is not an official release of the beveled double cut "K6/K7/K8" models, it's something different.

Explorer? Saber?

Edits following first significant reveal:

Almost certainly 24-fret bolt-on, super strat with bevel.

Whatever it is, that pic is missing a string, and it's no given that whatver it is will be offered with more strings.

Wellp, I can tell it's a 25" 6-string, that's for sure!

Pic for those who haven't seen it:

 

[ferret]

Definitely not fanned fret either. ;P

I suspect there's a 7 string version too. Less certain about an 8 string, especially if it's a single cut or Explorer shape. Kiesel doesn't seem to want to try anything but double cut as an 8.

inb4: It's just a long standing "staple" shape with Gumby curves.

It has to have that exact paintjob too. Blue/Gray burst headstock, cream white body.

I'll have it no other way.

In all seriousness though, if there was a Carvin 7 string explorer, I'd be all over that.
Edit: After I recover from having to buy another car.

 

[Chokey Chicken]

Kiesel 7 string explorer = instant buy. (provided they don't mutilate the shape too much.) Otherwise, I'm not terribly interested. I want a pretty 7 string explorer with an inline headstock.

Yes.

(provided they don't mutilate the shape too much.)

And yes.

There's not really much out there in terms of 7 string explorers or even explorers in general. Explorers are my favorite, so I'd 100% drop down some cash for a custom 7.
