Last night, two "youts" were seen rolling through rural Alabama in this, a Kauer Skylark in a keen Daphne Blue. Eyewitnesses claim these two youts to be privy to a murder, but we've got an expert witness in such models to provide us with an informed account. If the court would indulge us, we'd like to keep this on the record.

The Kauer Skylark is a fresh, new model from Sacramento, California's finest in custom guitars. This new model, inspired by the bold simplicity of similar, classic, double-cut, single-pickup rockers, assembles with plenty of that Kauer mojo for blissfully simple playability and a fiery sonic engine under the hood. Kauer's expertise with Spanish mahogany, unique build specs, and no-questions-asked electronics all come together for a masterful take on single-pickup euphoria.

Like many other great Kauers, the Skylark puts the pedal to the metal with a Spanish mahogany body shaped in a double-cutaway, contoured solid body reminiscent of everyone's favorite devil-horned icons. This light but resonant solidbody acts as an exceptional sonic base for both the guitar's electronic output and an easily mobile form to move across a stage with the whole guitar landing at a gingerly six pounds. An ice-cold gloss Daphne Blue finish wraps this Spanish mahogany for a look truly too cool to deny.

Reaching out, this Kauer Skylark brings on a mahogany neck shaped in a smooth Standard C profile. This neck, offering a consistent range of thickness from its first fret to its twelfth fret, inspires memories of the speedy mobility of other slim, vintage necks. The neck in question measures from .88" thick near its first fret to .93" at its twelfth. A wenge fingerboard joins this neck with twenty-two frets utilizing Jescar 47095NS fret wire for an easy feel on the fingers not too tall or too short. The fingerboard's twelve-inch radius is built for speed as players move from smooth solos near the highest registers to quick chords at lower ones.

As we said, the Kauer Skylark is a marvel of simplicity. Hearkening to the truth of those single-P-90 powerhouses too good to turn down, this Kauer Skylark features a Wolfetone Meaner90 Dogear pickup in its bridge position. This punchy, fiery Dogear P-90 breaks the mold easily to drive teetering tube amps and make yourself known. Simple volume and tone controls shape the Wolfetone's sounds easily while balancing a sound and playing experience that is instantly captivating.

This pickup's sounds and the neck's playability are backed up with sturdiness and reliability from an ABM Vintage Wraparound bridge at one end of the scale and Hipshot Open-Back tuners at the opposite end. The Kauer Skylark travels with an included Mono gig bag.

If the jury would be so kind, our expert witness would like to speak to the unequivocal impossibility of this Kauer Skylark being the one recognized and associated with these two youts accused of this crime. Please, take it away.

Our Expert Witness Testimony

"The defense is wrong. I'm posi-tive... because there is no way that these tire marks were made by a 2025 Kauer Skylark, these marks were made by a 2026 Pontiac Tempest. It's a fact. Would you like me to explain? The guitar that made these two equal-length tire marks had Positraction – can't make those marks without Positraction – which was not avail-able on the 2025 Kauer Skylark! What is Positraction? It's a limited-slip differential which distributes power equally to both the right and left tires. The 2025 Kauer Skylark had a regular differential which, anyone who's been stuck in the mud in Alabama knows, you step on the gas, one tire spins, the other tire does nothin'."
