The Al Joseph takes the Kiesel SCB and redefines it into a progressive-metal-geared guitar. Some changes include a bevel delete towards the top of the body and reconfigured controls to better suit Al’s playing. The model is also available with the Al Joseph Spec Package, an upgraded package specific to Al’s tastes.
“Introducing our newest signature model, the Al Joseph AJ6X and AJ7X!” wrote Kiesel of the guitar. “This new model is a hybrid of our Aries and SCB model, bringing you the aesthetics of a single cut with all of the comfort of our Aries model. For more info or to order one for yourself, head over to our website.”
Joseph added: “We nailed it. This is my dream guitar. Sleekness, ergonomic, comfortable, modern, and nostalgic mixed all in one guitar!”
The Al Joseph offers a Mahogany body, a Maple neck with a 2-way adjustable truss rod, a Roasted Maple fingerboard with a 14″ radius, and a Hipshot/Kiesel Tremolo System bridge. The Al Joseph comes loaded with Direct-Mount Passive Kiesel Lithium Humbuckers and starts at $2,549 here.
