AM8 Aries Multiscale is one of three multi-scaled Aries models, along with AM6 and AM7. Also, it is the most recently introduced among the three. Like its six and seven-string siblings, AM8 also features bolt-on construction, 24-fret fingerboard, Kiesel electronics and Kiesel/Hipshot hardware. Also, Kiesel offers a huge range of color options and finishes for this juggernaut. AM8 Aries Multiscale has a compound 27-1/2"-28" scale, stretched over the beveled alder body and a maple neck (with an ebony fingerboard on top). Kiesel offers many tonewood options and combos for all Aries models, including this one. Electronics section offers significantly less customization options, with direct mount Kiesel Lithium KL16 pickups being fixed features. Nonetheless, players can opt for an additional middle-positioned single-coil. Hipshot bridge and locking Kiesel tuners complete the specs list.
