"Doug Kauer started Kauer Guitars in 2008 after spending his entire life working in the family woodshop. His love of guitars and woodworking connected when he started building as a hobby, learning the craft, and turning into a full-time profession when Doug designed what became the Daylighter, Kauer Guitars signature model.  tarting by himself, Doug has grown Kauer Guitars into an international business with 6 dedicated members crafting each instrument. Lucky to have many wonderful artists on their roster, Doug takes advantage of road proving their guitars to continue to refine the instrument and process for each instrument."
