In terms of uniqueness, refinement, and reasonable affordability in a new U.S.-made electric, Kauer Guitars' new Titan line may well be one of the most compelling at this year's NAMM show. They feature a lovely new body shape, necks by Grover Jackson, half-ashtray or Bigsby bridge options, and pickguards that swap in and out with a single plug connection and are available with a wide variety of pickup choices. Street price starts at $1,299.
