Starliner Express
A two-pickup, all-mahogany version of the Starliner slab-body — Kauer's mid-tier Starliner artist favorite.
About this guitar
Starliner Express steps up from the JR with two pickups and a full pickguard over an all-mahogany slab body, keeping the same 24.75” scale Wenge fretboard. It’s a favorite among Kauer’s touring-artist roster and can be built with Wolfetone, Lollar, or TV Jones pickups.
