The Guitar Player's Resource
This guitar carries the spirit of Jason Becker's incredible '80s legacy - the kind of instrument that could handle both his blazing technical runs and those hauntingly beautiful melodic passages that made him unforgettable.
Sometimes the most personal guitars tell the most compelling stories. Jason Becker's Yin Yang signature isn't just another artist model - it's his tribute to the guitar hero who inspired him to pick up the instrument in the first place.
When Becker set out to capture the essence of Clapton's legendary "Blackie," he wasn't trying to create an exact replica. Instead, he wanted to bottle that same visual impact and emotional connection that made Blackie so iconic. "Every line and curve is beautiful," Becker explains about his Yin Yang design, and you can see exactly what he means when you look at how the black and white flow together across the body.
But here's where Kiesel's craftsmanship really shines through the artistic vision. That 24.75" scale length gives you a slightly warmer, more singing sustain compared to longer scales - perfect for those soaring melodic passages that made Becker famous. The three-piece maple neck with walnut stripe isn't just eye candy; it provides stability while that thinner profile lets your hand move effortlessly up and down the fretboard.
The pickup combination tells its own story. Becker's signature M12SD bridge humbucker delivers the punch you need for aggressive passages, while those Mark's single coils in the neck and middle positions give you that crystalline clean tone that made Clapton's Blackie so expressive.
This isn't just a guitar - it's a bridge between two generations of players who understood that technique means nothing without soul.
