The Kiesel Eric Gales EG61 is the blues-rock guitarist's signature S-style solidbody, built with Kiesel's custom-shop quality and voiced for Gales' expressive, vocal single-coil tone. It delivers classic Strat-style snap, quack and warmth with modern playability and a fast neck. Built for a left-handed player who strings conventionally flipped, it suits dynamic blues-rock lead and rhythm.
