Korona
Kauer's do-it-all T-style: a Thermo Pine solidbody (or Pine/Maple-top Deluxe) with universal pickup routing and a choice of full or half Tele-style bridges.
About this guitar
Korona is Kauer’s take on the classic California bolt-neck single-cut, built from Thermo Pine (or, in Deluxe trim, Pine with a maple top) with a roasted maple neck and bound Wenge fretboard. Universal pickguard routing opens up nearly any pickup combination from Lollar, Wolfetone, or TV Jones, and buyers choose between full and half Tele-style bridges, with a Descendant Vibrato and a 2-way slider switch upgrade also available.
