Nice Guitar Sp8ctre

 

[RVA]

Very nice! Interesting too - I have never played a cedar guitar and not even sure I have seen that in specs. Sure looks nice.

Uhm...II traded one out for one in and I've sold 5 guitars in the last 3 months and only brought one in...

Spanish Cedar is not from Spain and quite honestly, it isn't really a cedar either. Originally, up until the early 1990's, Spanish Cedar was most commonly sourced from South American countries. The tree is from the mahogany family, Meliaceae, a family that also counts the true Mahogany "Swietenia macrophylla", African Mahogany, Sapele and Sipo.

Dude, love it!! Have heard nothing but great things about Kauers - the Banshee's in particular.

The Banshee's seem to be very popular. There are quite a few pro's playing them such as Matt Schofield and Walter Becker. It ships tomorrow and I can't wait to get it!

I received the Kauer today and all I can say is WOW! This thing is so incredible I just can't
believe it! The thing is flawless and the workmanship is unbelievable! This is by far the best
guitar I have ever laid hands on...I am so stoked to have this one. My Ian Anderson will be done
next month and I hope it rivals this build! The Custom Wound Wolftones are very nice, but
I may throw the Seymour Duncan Joe Bonamassa Set in this one???

 

[Sp8ctre]

Oh...If you've never seen or felt a Wenge fretboard...the wood is spectacular...I also dig these Sperzel Tuners!

 

[JohnnyGoo]

Thats a really nice guitar.

Sweet............................. Killer Top

 

[Sp8ctre]

She plays like a dream and sounds great! Such a beautiful piece of workmanship!

It's looking like a long term resident at this point...I think my R8 Gibson would go before this one...

 

[ivan H]

Wow, that is nice, damn nice. Congrats. Cheers

 

[Bobby]

Gorgeous! Don't think I've ever played a guitar with a wenge board, beautiful.

 

[jtcnj]

Wow, Gratz man that is some looker, hope she is everything you hoped for and more.

 

[syscokid]

Just noticed this thread. Wow... what a beautiful guitar. That has to be one of the nicest figured maple tops that I've ever seen. All the other features of your Kauer are spectacular, too.

Wolftone's...
