Carvin Guitars & Pro Sound

Our Story For over 75 years, Kiesel Guitars has been a pioneer in the music industry, offering high-quality instruments at an affordable price. Founded by Lowell Kiesel in Los Angeles, California, the company has been family-owned and operated since its inception. Lowell's passion for music and instrument-making began at a young age, and he eventually founded the L.C. Kiesel Company in 1946, which initially focused on making pickups. However, the company soon shifted its focus to creating a wide range of instruments, including double and triple-neck lap steel guitars, electric mandolins, and electric guitars. Early Years The early years of Kiesel Guitars were marked by innovation and a commitment to quality. Lowell's wife, Agnes, played a significant role in the business, assisting with various tasks including winding pickups and modeling for product photos. Despite facing challenges, the company remained dedicated to its mission of providing high-quality instruments at affordable prices. A New Direction In the 1970s, the company underwent a significant transformation under the leadership of Lowell's son, Mark Kiesel. Mark took over the guitar and bass division at Carvin, where he had previously worked, and successfully led the transition of the company's focus towards modern electric guitars. This shift proved to be a turning point for the company, as it allowed Kiesel Guitars to adapt to changing market trends and preferences.
