Gripen

from $3,550.00

Gripen. Swedish for awesome. (ok, not really)

Brand new, the first truly new Kauer in nearly 8 years. A joint design between Doug and Max Kauer, the Gripen is angular, cubist and modern, yet somehow still immediately identifiable as a Kauer at its core. When we started designing Gripen, we centered quickly around our neck-thru experience as a way to get away with the aggressive nature of Gripen.

All my life I’ve searched for a guitar that feels a certain way. Powerful like a gorilla but soft and yielding like a Nerf ball.

Gripens beveled edges is like having a wraparound arm contour. Chiseled looks without the edge.

Heavy is the crown

Angles everywhere including the inlays. Our new Crown inlays are specific to Gripen.

Strength in position

Side output jack to allow for the combination of strength and thin wings.

Lock it down

Hipshot locking tuners because string wrapping is a waste of time.
