Product Description

The Korona is the flagship model from American boutique guitar builders, Kauer. It's a stylish offset/singlecut hybrid that's made to rock — with classy, alternative style in abundance! Hand-crafted in sunny California from first-class timbers, the Kauer Korona also boasts finely-machined hardware from the likes of Hipshot, as well as hand-wound Lollar pickups for spellbinding tone. The unique single-coil/humbucker configuration will cover lots of sonic territory too!

Key Features

  • Korona Shape — Based on Doug Kauer's KR1 shape, a vintage-meets-modern fusion offset with a huge upper fret cutaway and slim back contour.
  • Swamp Ash Body — Traditional tonewood with a gorgeous natural grain and a balanced sound.
  • Bolt-On Construction — Produces a snappy note response for an immediate playing experience.
  • Roasted Maple Neck — Roasting process crystallises resins and removes all of the natural moisture retained by the neck wood, ultimately darkening the material and adding stability for rock-solid tuning!
  • "C"-Shaped Neck Profile — Comfortable profile delivers a supportive feel that'll strongly appeal to traditionalists and contemporary players alike.
  • Wenge Fingerboard — Adds warmth into the tonal mix, with gorgeous wood grain exerting a truly mesmerising look.
  • Precise 'Plek' Process — Kauer uses an in-house Plek machine to carefully analyse their instruments' fingerboards and makes fine adjustments to the frets to ensure optimal playability.
  • Lollar Pickups — Unique single-coil/humbucker configuration provides a wealth of inspiring tones. The Imperial neck humbucker emulates the original 1950s "PAF" pickup, with a balanced and warm sound, while the Special T bridge single-coil possesses that classic T-style "twang" with small bump in compression and a smooth treble response.
  • Hipshot Open-Back Locking Tuners — Locking design secures strings to makes changes fast and hassle-free, with less wraps required around the tuning posts; enhancing tuning stability.

Reviews

“This guitar feels lively. There’s a vibrancy to each note – from its initial crisp attack to the smooth bloom and musical decay – which suits every approach we throw at it.” - Guitar.com
