Kiesel Guitars has been a cornerstone of American guitar manufacturing since 1946, when Lowell Kiesel founded the company in Los Angeles. Now based in their Escondido, California facility, this family-run operation has built a reputation for precision craftsmanship and attention to detail that extends beyond their custom instrument building. Their in-house luthiers and guitar techs bring decades of combined experience in instrument repair, setup work, and fretwork. The same skilled hands that build Kiesel’s custom guitars and basses also handle repairs, ensuring every instrument receives factory-level expertise. Their repair services cover everything from routine guitar setups and electronics work to complex structural repairs and refrets. What sets Kiesel apart is their deep understanding of modern instrument construction and playability standards developed through years of manufacturing. Their technicians work with the same tools, parts, and quality standards used in their production line, giving them unique insight into what makes an instrument perform at its best. For players seeking repair work backed by genuine manufacturing expertise, Kiesel’s repair department offers the kind of precision and knowledge that only comes from building thousands of instruments from scratch.
