Like a Les Paul but as cool as a Jag

Pretty hard to find these for sale in the UK. I got mine from a short lived shop in Manchester called 'Tone World' (fun fact: a super boutique shop which mostly seemed to sell Johnny Marr and Noels touring gear! - I even tried a real Klon in there) Doug Kauer does indeed make exceedingly good guitars. Really good build quality. Great attention to detail. 50s thick profile necks. They come in many pickup variations. I ended up with straight double humbuckers. Very much a Gibson Les Paul killer. But with the off-set goodness of a chunky Jaguar. One of the best recording guitars i have ever owned. Worth going to try one before you buy one, as there is nothing quite like it on the market. My only downer on it, i don't like the Wenge fingerboard, looks a bit too weird. I prefer Ebony, but hey thats as good as gone due to CITES. I was lucky to get mine. If you search google I own the one off Gulf racing colours model. Orange and blue all the way!
