Kauer Guitars

collapse expand iconDescription

Brandishing the motto, “Built by fanatics for fanatics,” Doug Kauer and his crew produce boutique-quality, vintage-themed-with-a-twist guitars in Sacramento, California. The Kauer Banshee evokes a reverse-bodied icon from the 1960s, and it’s a design that radiates attitude and swagger. The body is made of Spanish mahogany—an articulate tonewood that delivers shimmer and zing for clean or slightly gritty sounds, and retains clarity and bite for everything from distorted to massively saturated playing. Players who desire a rainbow of feral and seductive tones in their guitars will marvel at the versatility of this gorgeous, Daphne-blue Banshee, as it includes TV Jones Power’Tron and Power’Tron Plus pickups, two volume and two tone controls, and three slider switches for cocked wah, coil split and phase-reverse sounds.
