The Kauer Gripen Bumper Car Green is the loudest guitar in the room—visually and sonically. This one-off finish explodes with retro amusement park energy, fading from deep orange into shimmering silver like the hood of a rocket-fueled go-kart. Angular and aggressive, but slick and pro-grade, this thing is built to rip.
With a neck-thru Spanish Mahogany build, Wenge fretboard, and Wolfetone Kauer’bucker pickups, this Gripen balances boutique quality with bold personality. It’s not for the background—this is your lead guitar in every sense.
