Kiesel Numbers Guitar





The JB24 Jason Becker Tribute Guitar is a modern take on the "Numbers" guitar Jason designed but was never fully produced. Because of the widespread acclaim of Carvin Guitars' JB200C Jason Becker Tribute Guitar, and our long relationship with Jason, creating a new and improved version of this well-known but seldom-seen guitar was a logical step for the Custom Shop. Now you can order your own version of this iconic instrument which is made in the USA in cooperation with Jason Becker himself. 

The only way to appreciate the performance of a Kiesel Guitars instrument is to use it in your own environment, giving it the test of "real world" performance. Take 10 days to try out your Jason Becker Tribute JB24. If you're not completely satisfied, you can return it - no questions asked. Your trial period starts when the merchandise is received by you, not when it's shipped. Really give it a workout. If you're not satisfied for any reason, send it back for a prompt refund or exchange - you would only be responsible for the return shipping. (US and Canada customers only; international customers, see here

The JB24 is built at the Kiesel Guitars Custom Shop in Escondido, California.

DJENT 2018

Featuring an 18-string multiscale fret layout, this guitar could quite possibly defeat the black-holes of the Perseus galaxy for lowest note in the universe. Designed in conjunction with the wild ideas of YouTube star Jared Dines, the DJENT2018 project is set to become a feature instrument in 2018.
 

The Jared Dines ‘DJENT 2018’ 18 string multiscale features:

  • Intricate Jared Dines logo portrait and ‘1/0’ DJENT inlays made of exotic stones, woods, shells, plus glow in the dark material, set into an extra wide African ebony fretboard

  • A select 2-piece Tasmanian Blackwood body and 9-piece Mahogany, Tasmanian Blackwood and Ebony neck, with 3 dual-action truss-rods and carbon reinforcements
  • Genuine stone top and headstock cover with carbon fibre rear headstock reinforcement plate
  • Hipshot USA hardware, including single saddles, locking tuners, and controls
  • Custom Ormsby pickups designed to cover the wide range of frequencies this guitar was built to produce.
  • Light up LED ‘Ormsby Guitars DJENT2018’ logo set into clear acrylic, suspended over the headstock void.





Recently voted as the ‘biggest guitar personality in the world’, Jared Dines and master luthier Perry Ormsby set out to create a guitar like no other that would enable Jared to explore unchartered musical territory in the modern era. Just as Jared has done with one of Ormsby Guitars’ coveted Hype GTR models, numerous projects and videos will feature ‘DJENT 2018’ in the year ahead across YouTube.
 
This model will not be replicated, but similar factory direct only prices for full handmade instruments from the Australian CustomShop, start from $2999 USD. Ormsby Guitars production models, the GTR Series, start from $1200 USD.
