Kiesel Guitars

Kiesel Guitars Custom Guitars Made in the USA Since 1946. The Kiesel name has been around in the guitar industry since the Kiesel company was founded in 1946 by Lowell Kiesel.

In 1950 the name was changed to Carvin to go factory direct and leave the dealer network behind. In 1970 Mark Kiesel (Lowell's son) took over the guitar division of Carvin and started to develop the Custom Shop by adding more options features and improve the designs. In 1995 Jeff Kiesel (Mark's son) was brought to help Mark with the custom shop and sales. 2015 was a huge year for the company, Kie

sel Guitars was reborn thanks to the efforts of Mark and Jeff Kiesel wanting to focus exclusively on Instruments and pay respects to Lowell Kiesel and go back to the original company name and logo. The Carvin Guitars name, brand, models, designs, and patents are owned by the same owner(s) since 1970 Mark and Jeff Kiesel who own Kiesel Guitars. Carvin Guitars will continue to be made alongside Kiesel Guitars and will be serviced and supported as if there was no name change. Today Kiesel Guitars employs over 50 Custom Shop Experts, many of which have been with the company for over 20 years.

Every Kiesel guitar neck is reinforced with two high-modulus carbon fiber rods.

These rods are installed alongside the truss rod to help maximize neck stability, resist movement from environmental changes, and keep your guitar performing at its best.

It’s one of the many details that go into every Kiesel instrument.
