After the explosive arrival of the Kyber and A2, Kiesel turned its attention to a different corner of the guitar world: players who revere the timeless shapes and sensibilities of the golden age, but still demand modern precision and playability.
The result is the Aero, a guitar that feels instantly familiar yet unmistakably Kiesel, balancing classic aesthetics with contemporary innovation in a way that speaks directly to traditionalists and modernists alike.
Drawing from the ergonomic foundations of the Kyber and A2, the Aero introduces a more heritage-minded silhouette inspired by the Delos. Rounded body edges, a bolt-on construction, and a full pickguard nod to vintage design language, while refined contours and updated geometry ensure the guitar performs at today’s professional standards. The softened, rounded horns reduce visual aggression in favor of a cleaner, more classic look, reinforcing the Aero’s understated elegance.
One of the Aero’s defining visual elements is its slotted pickguard, an exclusive detail that reimagines a familiar feature with decorative slats that subtly reference the model’s aviation-inspired name. The signature Aero headstock continues this blend of eras, borrowing visual DNA from both the GT and Kyber designs to create a profile that feels equally modern and traditional.
Practical refinements complete the package. A revised output jack system adds versatility by complementing the traditional jack placement with a rear-mounted option, while enhanced comfort features shine in classical playing position. A deep cutaway, bottom body scoop, and adjusted side cut work together to improve balance and ergonomics without disrupting the guitar’s vintage-leaning aesthetic.
Available exclusively as a six-string in standard scale, the Kiesel Aero is a deliberate return to classic form. It’s a guitar designed for players who value history and familiarity, but refuse to give up the precision, comfort, and performance that define modern Kiesel instruments.
