{"product_id":"kauer-pab-super-chief-3451-135","title":"Kauer P.A. Bigsby Super Chief","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Super Chief is Doug Kauer's pride and joy. With a semi-hollow body that measures 15.5\" inches across, this top-of-the-line model produces a big\u003cspan\u003e sound that is unrivaled in the Kauer lineup for clarity and punch. Across Kauer models, the Bigsby vibrato tailpiece is a popular upgrade, and that gave us an interesting idea for a custom Super Chief. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the late-'40s, American inventor Paul Bigsby pioneered the electric guitar. The legendary solid-body guitar he built for Merle Travis hugely influenced Leo Fender (as did Bigsby's instantly-recognizable flared headstock). In the '50s, Bigsby focused mainly on his vibrato tailpiece design, but his forward-thinking guitar designs permanently impacted the development of the solid-body electric guitar. As a foward-thinking guitar builder in his own right, Doug Kauer is a tremendous fan of Paul Bigsby's work, so we asked Doug to build a Super Chief inspired by Paul's legendary guitars. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne of Doug's favorite Paul Bigsby guitars is actually a much later '50s example built with stunning Birdseye Maple and a white pickguard inscribed with the name \"Larry.\" That guitar served as the inspiration for this amazing one-of-a-kind Super Chief. Featuring hand wound Mojo P.A.B. pickups and knockout Birdseye Maple on the top and back, this Super Chief captures the Bigsby vibe in a way that only Kauer Guitars can. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Super Chief\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Birdseye Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack: Birdseye Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: 5-ply Birdseye Maple\/Roasted Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Binding: Aged White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Blonde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Profile: Standard C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Depth: 1st Fret - .88\" 12th Fret - .94\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth at Nut: 1.70\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Binding: Aged White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard: Wenge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Radius: 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Keystone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretwire: Jescar 47095NS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Hipshot Open Back Locking w\/ Amber buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: TonePros Nashville\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTailpiece: Bigsby B7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl Layout: 2 Vol \/ 2 Tone \/ 3-Way Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: Mojo P.A.B.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 8 lbs 14.1 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra Notes: Custom Bigsby-style armrest and \"Kauer\" inscribed pickguard\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53838662926655,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G17829932","price":2999.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/2024KauerPABSuperChief_3451-135_-Detail10.jpg?v=1782094488","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/kauer-pab-super-chief-3451-135","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
