{"product_id":"kauer-banshee-custom-firebird-baritone-with-mono-bag","title":"Kauer 2010s Banshee Custom Baritone Tangelo Purple Flake NM","description":"\u003cp\u003eNo sales tax for US customers outside California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalifornia is really big, so the 90 mile distance between our shop and Kauer Guitars practically makes us neighbors.  I was a Kauer dealer for a few years there - I actually might still be on the books there I suppose.  Every guitar we ordered was perfect, as Doug requires.  This guitar is no exception, and what a blast it is to play!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eKauer Guitars was founded in 2008 in Sacramento, California — where boutique craftsmanship collides head-on with fearless design and a sense of humor that refuses to stay in the corner. After founding Kauer Guitars, Doug didn't build Banshees for the first couple years — he wanted to stand on the merits of his own designs. But as demand for his reverse-bodied creations increased, he had a change of heart, and the Banshee became the model that put Kauer on the map. Every Kauer is PLEK'd in house, ensuring a level of fret precision and playability consistency that most builders at this price point simply cannot match. The Banshee is Sacramento's answer to the Firebird — built from the same design DNA, executed with the specific material choices and construction refinements that a boutique shop produces when it has the time and attention to get every detail right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reverb.com\/item\/55930282-fender-deluxe-reverb-reissue-65-amplifier-with-western-tolex-covering\" class=\"group\/tag relative h-[18px] rounded-full inline-flex items-center overflow-hidden -translate-y-px cursor-pointer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative transition-colors h-full max-w-[180px] overflow-hidden px-1.5 inline-flex items-center font-small rounded-full border-0.5 border-border-300 bg-bg-200 group-hover\/tag:bg-accent-900 group-hover\/tag:border-accent-100\/60\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-nowrap text-text-300 break-all truncate font-normal group-hover\/tag:text-text-200\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThis is a custom baritone configuration — the Banshee platform extended to a 27\" scale length, the dimension that drops string tension into the range where lower tunings speak clearly and string-to-string definition remains articulate even with heavy gauge strings. Running .013\"-.072\", this instrument is set up for serious downtuned work — the 27\" scale and the Spanish mahogany through-neck construction provide the sustain, note definition, and tonal body that baritone playing demands. The wenge fingerboard contributes additional clarity and articulation in the upper registers — a naturally bright, dense tropical hardwood that rewards the extended scale length with focused attack and note separation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe custom metalflake tangelo orange and deep purple flake finish is the kind of paint job that stops the conversation — two distinct metalflake colors applied with the visual depth and shimmer that only metalflake lacquer produces, shifting in different lighting from orange-dominant to purple-dominant depending on the angle. This is not a stock finish. It is a custom order made once, for this guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Wolfetone KauerBucker humbuckers — a collaboration between Wolfetone's boutique winding operation and Kauer's specific tonal requirements — read 7.34k neck and 8.57k bridge, correctly balanced for the Banshee's Spanish mahogany construction and voiced for the warm, articulate character that mahogany neck-through guitars produce best. TonePros Tune-o-matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece in gold, Kluson banjo-style tuners, mother-of-pearl keystone inlays on the wenge fingerboard. Standard C neck profile at .89\" at the first fret and 1.03\" at the twelfth, 12\" radius, 22 frets, 1.70\" nut width. Action set at 2\/32\" on both strings at the twelfth fret. At 6 lbs 10 oz this is a remarkably light instrument for a baritone. Near mint condition throughout.
