Kauer Gripen Electric Guitar, Wine Red Metallic

In a truly regal sort of style, the Kauer Gripen touches down in the Kauer collection of guitars for players seeking a truly different path to electrified inspiration. Offset, geometric and striking, this model from Kauer stakes its own claim and attests for its own unique brand of brilliance.

This Kauer Gripen starts out with a reverse-offset body made from Spanish mahogany. This cut of wood, shaped in an almost cubist kind of profile, remains light and easily handled for any player to cross its path. As an eye-catching sonic springboard from which the rest of this exciting Kauer experience can leap, this Spanish mahogany body plays the body wood role in a one-of-a-kind way for a one-of-a-kind guitar. Spanish mahogany appears on this model again as its neck, shaped in a Standard C profile. Measuring .84” thick at its first fret and .99” thick at its twelfth, this neck is streamlined and comfortable for making fast trips up and down its length. This playability is compounded by a white-bound wenge fingerboard bearing twenty-two frets and a modern-feeling 12” radius. Jescar 47095NS fret wire forms the shape of these frets and feature Crown inlays for an excellently playable experience across the fingers on the entire scale.

Sonically, this Gripen is loaded with two Wolfetone KauerBucker pickups that summon a formidable humbucking tone. Outfitted for dynamic playing, these two humbuckers sing with fantastic tonality for any player to step up to the plate and create with. These KauerBuckers come equipped with two volume controls, one tone control and a three-way pickup selector switch for rolling through a spectrum of sounds. Lining up beautifully with the attention-commanding aesthetic of this guitar, this assortment of electronics captures a similar dynamic of a guitar that simply cannot be ignored.

Additional appointments on this Gripen include a set of Hipshot Open Back Locking tuning machines. These tuners appear on the guitar’s inverted headstock and match the body’s TonePros Tune-o-Matic bridge and Stop Tail tailpiece to ensure solid intonation across the entire instrument. Fully, this Gripen encapsulates a solid and stable instrument with great intonation and exceptional playability on its strings. This Kauer comes with a Mono guitar case for easy transport and safe travels.

For players looking for a new kind of electric experience, this striking piece from Kauer Guitars fits a very fulfilling bill.
