Kauer Banshee - Bumper Car Green w/ Novak JM Pickups & Mastery Vibrato
This Kauer Banshee is a total stunner—visually wild and sonically ferocious. Wrapped in a head-turning Bumper Car Green finish and loaded with Novak Jazzmaster-style pickups, this guitar blends vintage mojo with modern performance in a perfectly balanced, lightweight design.
Built with Spanish Mahogany throughout and a smooth Wenge fretboard, this Banshee is both resonant and fast-playing. The Standard C neck profile and 24.75” scale make bends feel buttery, and the Mastery Vibrato + Descendant Bridge combo gives you that classic shimmer without sacrificing tuning stability. The Novak JM-V neck and JM-Cojones bridge pickups deliver dynamic, glassy cleans and thick, punchy overdrive—perfect for everything from shoegaze and surf to blues and alternative rock.
Players like Scott Holiday (Rival Sons), Brad Whitford (Aerosmith), and R.J. Ronquillo have all made the Banshee part of their sonic arsenal—and it’s easy to see why. This one has the bite of a Firebird, the feel of a Jazzmaster, and the attitude of a custom hot rod.
