Building from Kauer's hugely-popular Titan series, the Korona is a California classic reimagined. Ash body, 25.5" scale with a bolt on Maple neck—the result is a highly customizable template that is versatile in every setting. Twang? Sure we can do that. Jazz? I guess why not. Full out rock and roll? Bet your ass buddy. The Korona is a comfortable body with a lightweight feel, and with Kauer's wide variety of options, the Korona can do whatever you need.
With this Korona (#329), Kauer hit an absolute home run! It starts with a Roasted Ash body and Roaster Maple neck. No one delivers finishes quite like Kauer, and we love the Olympic White finish with Orange Racing Stripe. The orange is matched in the piping on the white pickguard, and there is also subtle white binding around the edge of the body. It's a stunner with a lot of flair, that's for sure!
For pickups, this Korona sports Lollar Regals to capture the tone and character of the '70s Wide Range humbuckers. These are wide-open, expressive pickups with a lot of power, and the three-way switch, volume, and tone controls lend a ton of flexibility.

Like a lot of Kauers, this Korona feels like a true individual—one of one, not just same old guitar off the line. We're consistently impressed by Kauer's attention to detail, and this Korona is such a killer guitar! It includes a Mono gig bag, and custom guitars like this just beg to be played. Too cool!
