That neck grain is incredible. I've not ordered a guitar from them since they were Carvin but, I have to assume the quality and playability is still top notch.
The Gotoh is a great trem - you can get Wilkinson locking saddles for it which increase the tuning stability. The inlays are very similar to the ones that Schecter use and I agree they are great.
Gorgeous! Looks super light; is it? Liking that new camera angle too; the one where you can see the acoustic in the back and it's looking down at you a little
Still a huge Carvin fan. I own several. The figuring on the neck is staggering. I am not surprised though. Eventually I will order my Keisel. Absolutely worth it.
Modern guitar manufacturing has come such a long way. I have a Kiesel Aries and that thing is amazing. How can it get any better than what it is today?
It’s just down to body shape design really, who can design the ultimate body shape. The Aries is definitely extremely good to play, I probably prefer the A2 ever so slightly. But yeah there’s not much further that we can from here really. 👍🏻
I'm just waiting for a Seymour Duncan pickup to come in for the bridge, but I'm ordering a Kiesel in the very near future. Just like you, I'm looking to do it in a Satin finish. Excellent demo and killer guitar.
Hey Thomas! I just ordered an A26H thanks to this video! I got a 7A buckeye burl top for the pick your top black Friday live and I couldn't be more excited to try it! Really appreciate they amazing demo and review video! 🙏
@McRocklin Absolutely! Will do! I also went with a rawtone finish because I just loved how yours looked! Plus the tone you get with rawtone is unbeatable!
That Does have mad Accessable high frets .. I build/modify Guitars. And even though I glue set most of my necks. I don't often get the 24th fret that far out from the body center. . And I even like the neck/body heel
The new picture🎥 is brilliant !👍👍 The new guitar is something! Definitely my favorite of your headstock-guitar collection✌️Such a gorgeous one! Congratulations!
That turned out absolutely rad, and I'm insanely jealous! Might have to put in an order in the near future with a similar finish...Can't wait for the gotoh/hipshot shootout - I need to know!
I'd also love to see a gotoh / hipshot shootout! This vid made me decide to buy an A2 and I'm on the fence about which trem to go with. I think I'm leaning more on the gotoh side. On a few other A2 review videos, the word is that this body shape is super comfortable. I so want one!
That neck It doesn't even look like it's smooth. It looks like it should feel a bit wavy/rippled...so so unique. & the color w/that burl top, a gorgeous guitar🔥
WOW...Amazing looking and sounding Kiesel! Love it! Any way to get all the specs? :) :) :) May have to put in another build. Maybe a signature A2??????
Kiesel have all the specs of the guitars that I use, so people usually call or email them and they’ll fire all the details over to you. The A2 is a great model, probably my favourite model with a headstock! 👋🏻
Didn't think Kiesel would release the Specs to just anybody for one of your custom builds, but I will definitely shoot an email to my sales guy Chris Hong and see if he'll accommodate! Thanks Again, Scott (Avid Fan) @@McRocklin
How's the fret work ?! I have a bevel delete aries with poplar and reverse monster burst almost done ! Yours looks fantastic and sounds amazing!!!! Great playing! \m/
Hey McRocklin! I looove this new guitar. I would love to go back and watch the original stream of you picking the specs. Do you have a link to that avaiable?
Some of us are kinda dum when it comes to plug ins….but I’m interested in ur plug-in … how are you powering how does it all work basically be nice to see a tour of you plug-in ..inns and out
No worries I answer this type of question on Twitch.TV/McRocklin a lot. My current setup is simply guitar > Wah > tuner into my audio interface. The plug-in is available standalone so you can simply run it from gif desktop, or as a plug-in inside your Daw. Any questions at all feel free to pop on www.mcrocklin.com/discord or the next live stream 👍🏻
Did your a2 come from kiesel with your pick ups and the fishman battery pack or was that something you had to put on? I’m asking because, this is the way I would like to order mine. By the way, way love your videos and tone!
Thank you mate! I asked Fishman to send them into Kiesel for me so they could fit them. You possibly could do the same, but ask the retailer to ship them to kiesel. It’s probably best to do this via a phone call though to make sure you get exactly what you want.
I missed the live stream when you were using the guitar builder. Did you post a video of that? I would like to know the options you chose to make that gorgeous guitar. All killer, no filler! Thanks!
@McRocklin Thanks for the response. Is there any chance you could list the options you chose? I am interested in building something different, but I do like some of the wood choices and options you went with. Any info would be appreciated. Great content on your channel. I was there when you started out, and it's great to get to see and hear the player you have become.
McRocklin, can you get a polychrome McRocklin that's not a plugin to use with an amp? Sorry, I'm just seeing this for the first time! Great video/playing/guitar! Wow.
hi mcrocklin,its this a thiner neck or just the standar neck,cause when you are bulding the guitar there are two aditional options thiner neck and thicker neck,or default neck
@@McRocklin thanks my frien for your help im looking foward to buy the sophy loyd model and i want to be sure of the neck profile,your video was very usefull to decide to buy from kiesel
Looks so freakin sweet…… but I still stand by my vote for purple pickups!!! But!!!! Fishman fluence are solderless and the right ones will pop right in.
@@McRocklin yes just a 4 pin plug on the back of each pickup. Strings off- unscrew and disconnect black ones- swap out for the purple!!! If ever a guitar NEEDED the purple fishmans it’s that A2! - just sayin 😂
Awesome guitar! I have a Kiesel, Carvin Jason Becker model and it's a great guitar. I believe that Kiesel guitars are definitely the best for price and I would definitely buy another not that I need any more guitars.
I used to have a Carvin guitar before they change to Kiesel. Such great quality stuff. Even their amplifier cabinets back in the day in my mind were built better than any of the cabinets today. But yes that guitar is spectacular Love the trem! You're playing again is spot on effortless but yet with power and integrity like you know exactly what you're going to play before you play it but yet it feels so improvationalized. I am still more impressed by your playing than any of the instruments although the instruments are really cool😅 I don't know about the best Keisel but damn that's a nice guitar! Thanks for the video....
Hello from Japan. Thank you so much for interesting video. Could you please let me know which body top color you have chosen?? Is this the same color that you have chosen for your Kiesel DC600?? Thank you very much in advance. Domo-Arigato😄
@@McRocklin Thank you for replying back.😃Domo Arigato😀 Keisel has so many nice color options, and I think your A2/DC600 color combination is one of the best. Same color using swamp ash might be cool too.
@McRocklin watch at 6:57 to 6:59 at full screen, tool marks on fret board , one fret end looks real weird like it's been cut too short, the fret board roll over looks god awful, I'm not hating because that guitar looks amazing, but for the price should be flawless.

I love it so much I ordered one for myself!
That neck grain is incredible. I've not ordered a guitar from them since they were Carvin but, I have to assume the quality and playability is still top notch.
It’s a wild neck for sure. Have a great weekend 🤟🏻
What neckwood is that?
The sheer spankiness of those pinch harmonics 🥹
Every square inch is gorgeous. Love the circle fret markers. Looks like it's comfortable sitting on the lap. Black tuners are awesome.
Thank you David! I’m super happy with it. 🤟🏻
Not a massive kiesel fan but, this is nice looking and great sounding. Would love to see one with a reverse headstock.
That’s a popular opinion 🤟🏻
The Gotoh is a great trem - you can get Wilkinson locking saddles for it which increase the tuning stability.
The inlays are very similar to the ones that Schecter use and I agree they are great.
Cool cheers!
Kiesels might be the best guitars money can buy right now...A devotee since the Carvin 1985 days :) Top quality then, top quality now.
Gorgeous! Looks super light; is it? Liking that new camera angle too; the one where you can see the acoustic in the back and it's looking down at you a little
I like the back camera angle, it kinda gives an insight as to all the movements when you're doing the riffs.
Thanks! yeah, that’s two cameras pointing slightly different. Makes for a nice change.
Dig the new guitar brother!!!!! Making my unboxing video now! cant wait to show ya!
Ooooof let’s go!!
How to find this guitar on google? I know it's kiezel but also..... I fell in love with this 🎸
Just head to the Kiesel website. That’s only play they are available
@@McRocklinI want exact same guitar. All options name list please🙏
Awesome guitar, awesome guitar player. One more nice moment with Mc!!!
Very kind. Thank you Pat!
Still a huge Carvin fan. I own several. The figuring on the neck is staggering. I am not surprised though. Eventually I will order my Keisel. Absolutely worth it.
Appreciate the comment mate. Thank you!

Omg I love it lol purple is my favorite color but it’s like different shades and even pinkish ... wow she is a keeper
That guitar is awesome looking! I have a JB200 and love it! Can't wait to put in a build for the A2
I have a JB200C, incredible guitar.
Awesome!
@McRocklin Also have a ST300, V220, Zeus 24.75 scale, Becker Yin-Yang, Osiris 8 string multiscale. Six Carvin/ Kiesels...
I guess I have a problem!
@@jfo3000 How is the Ying Yang compared to the JB200C?
Really like the opening backing track. Congrats on guitar! I love that color and finish.
Thanks! That’s a demo version of Clear Skies hehe.
Man, this thing is a piece of art! Sounding great through PDSP, of course!
Thanks Melody King!! Xx

Yeah, access is amazing!
Wow looks amazing man!
Would really like to see a comparison between the Gotoh and Kiesel/Hipshot trem's!
Thank you!
Yeah I think I’ll give that a try soon.
Can you please share all the specs on this guitar? Thank you.
It looks really cool and to hear you describe it, it seems like something that really makes you happy. I'm happy for you!
Appreciate that! Now go finish your coffee. I might join you :)
@@McRocklin I did, plus everyone else's. Now I can't sleep lol
Gorgeous new build dude!
Thanks Alex!
The new picture🎥 is brilliant !👍👍 The new guitar is something! Definitely my favorite of your headstock-guitar collection✌️Such a gorgeous one! Congratulations!
Thank you! : )
I would give it a ten out of ten !
Brilliant score! 🥳
wow!!! congrats Thomas!! this guitar is super sick.. amazing!!! really like every detail of it
Thank you Luca. Yeah, I’m really happy with how this turned out. I was worried at one point during the build stream lol.
That turned out absolutely rad, and I'm insanely jealous! Might have to put in an order in the near future with a similar finish...Can't wait for the gotoh/hipshot shootout - I need to know!
Appreciate it Mr Vibes! 🍕
I'd also love to see a gotoh / hipshot shootout! This vid made me decide to buy an A2 and I'm on the fence about which trem to go with. I think I'm leaning more on the gotoh side.

You and your Axe shred my friend.!!!!!!!

Thanks! 🤟🏻
You got yourself quite a nice guitar!
How's the fret work ?! I have a bevel delete aries with poplar and reverse monster burst almost done ! Yours looks fantastic and sounds amazing!!!! Great playing! \m/
Thanks Adam, everything is perfect on this guitar. It’s crazy.
Hey McRocklin! I looove this new guitar. I would love to go back and watch the original stream of you picking the specs. Do you have a link to that avaiable?
Hi Brian,
It was in Twitch.TV/McRocklin and I’m not sure if it’s still up I’m afraid. It may be!
My buddy gave me an A2! hands down the best guitar I've ever played!
I’m pulling the trigger. Finally going to order myself a Kiesel thank u sir
Enjoy!

This is a custom, no sig A2 currently. Thanks Sam!

It’s software only for windows and mac. 👍🏻
hi mcrocklin,its this a thiner neck or just the standar neck,cause when you are bulding the guitar there are two aditional options thiner neck and thicker neck,or default neck

You're not helping I want to buy a Kiesel but I'm so torn between this and that☆. Might go headless still not sure?
Headless is amazing, it might fully make sense until you try one and then it’s very difficult to go back.
Awesome Axe! I'd also like to hear the Grogu patch played on a Vader. Good vs Evil!
👋🏻
It's beautiful!! Do I see 2 outputs on it though?👀🤷♂🤔
Yesssss I’ll have to try that soon.
I have a rawtone poplar build in the works with BOA back too. My A2 is more simple(Silverburst) Kiesel is the best imo🤘
Beautiful!
Is that song at 1:04?
If so what is the name?
It’s an old demo very of s song called Clear Skies. This can be found on my EP New Beginnings
@@McRocklin it’s a great riff!!!
I would love to buy an album of you playing that clean tone music, do you have anything like that for sale?

Thanks again mate,

All of my sensibilities say that I should hate the aesthetics of that guitar but it's perfect.
Looks and sounds sicks. Congrats!
Thank you mate!
what was the final cost of the guitar? In British pounds please. Ta
It would be estimated I’m afraid from the builder price. But probs around 3 grand Inc taxes.
about the extra MCRocklin stuff, what about the peeps who've already bought your plugin?
It’s already waiting for you in the user area on the website. You didn’t think we wouldn’t look after you guys too, did you! x 🤟🏻
Have you got two guitar lead holes on this guitar?
Yeah! Haven’t tried that yet, maybe on tonight’s stream!
Hello from Japan.
Thank you so much for interesting video.
Could you please let me know which body top color you have chosen??
Is this the same color that you have chosen for your Kiesel DC600??
Thank you very much in advance.
Domo-Arigato😄
Hello Domo! This is pink to purple fade with a raw tone finish, using a pop burl top. Thanks!
@@McRocklin Thank you for replying back.😃Domo Arigato😀
Keisel has so many nice color options, and I think your A2/DC600 color combination is one of the best.
Same color using swamp ash might be cool too.
Wish I could afford a guitar from kiesel, they look so cool :')
Wow what pickups you got on there?
The McRocklin Fishman pickups 👍🏻
Very nice. Sounds great!!!
Thanks Rick! Appreciate it.
Great promo vídeo, thank you!
Looked good on the builder but man did that come out SICK Irl! Beautifully mean looking guitar.

Stainless steel
Stunning.

What grade is that top?
No idea mate sorry. I’ll try md find out.
Wow! Looks absolutely incredible...well except I only notice 6-strings on this one! I'll give it a 9.5/10
So sorry about that. We better get back on the builder!!?

You sending the guitar back due to poor fret job?, 6:57.
