Kiesel Guitars has announced the return of a fan favorite: the DC127. Originally introduced under the Carvin Guitars brand in 1990, the model became a defining piece of late 20th‑century rock guitar culture. Now reissued as part of Kiesel’s limited-time Rewind series, the DC127 blends its classic silhouette with the latest innovations from the Custom Shop.
Longtime fans will remember the DC127 for its fast playability, neck-through construction, and sharp, contoured design. After Kiesel’s rebranding and the introduction of modern models like the Aries and Vader, the DC127 slowly disappeared from production. With this new Rewind edition, players have one more chance to add this legacy model to their arsenal.
The Rewind DC127 keeps key specs intact: 6-string configuration, 25″ scale length, 24 stainless steel frets, and a sculpted neck heel for improved upper-fret access. Pickup configurations include dual humbuckers or a versatile H-S-H layout with a single-coil in the middle position. As expected, the instrument features a neck-through body design, known for its exceptional sustain and comfortable feel.
True to Kiesel’s Custom Shop ethos, nearly every aspect of the DC127 Rewind can be tailored to individual preferences. The guitar starts at $1,799, making it the most affordable neck-through model currently offered by Kiesel Guitars. That price point, combined with its full range of customizable options, positions the DC127 as a strong value for players looking for a high-performance, USA-built instrument.
Available only for a limited time, the DC127 Rewind marks a rare second chance to pick up a piece of Kiesel history. For those who missed it the first time – or longtime players ready to revisit a favorite – this model delivers modern performance in a classic form that defined a generation.
