B
ased in Elk Grove, just south of
Sacramento in Northern California,
Kauer Guitars makes a range of
vintage-inspired electric guitars with
a twist that’s found favour with Rival Sons
star Scott Holiday, who liked his first
Super Chief so much he recently took
delivery of a double-neck version.
Available from The North American
Guitar in London, this particular Super
Chief retails for £4,250 and wears its
Gretschiness firmly on its sleeve. With a
15.5-inch semi-hollow body, this Round
Up Orange stunner comes loaded with
TV Jones Power’Trons and features
a figured maple top and back, with
a Spanish mahogany core. The Chet
Atkins Bigsby arm adds an extra touch
of class to an instrument with plenty of
retro appeal that can also rock out with
the best of them.Visit thenorthamericanguitar.com to find out
