Why not spread the cost?
Based on Kauer’s successful Titan KR1 model, the Korona, at heart, is an ode to the beloved F style guitars of yesteryear (think Corona, CA). Crafted from roasted Pine, the guitar is responsive and dynamic to play, with a bit more bottom end and low mids compared to Swamp Ash. When plugged in, the Korona is capable of a plethora of tones. The neck position sports a custom wound Lollar El Rayo humbucker that is truly unique in feel and tone. The highs open up when pushed, while the low end remains fat and well-defined, with a meaty growl. The bridge position boasts a Lollar J-Street, which is known for being a hotter T-style pickup. The lows are fatter, the mid range is more pronounced, and the highs are reminiscent of a P90 or Humbucker. A twist of the custom Emerson volume and tone pots rewards a player with a palette of usable tones. It’s 25.5” scale length and 1.66” nut width is familiar feeling, while its 12” radius offers one increased comfort and playability. These features paired with its gorgeous Wenge fretboard, roasted Maple neck, and T-style bridge make the Kauer Korona perfect for those looking for a modern instrument that is unique yet familiar, with no shortage of vintage-style mojo.
