I have been yearning for a Firebird type guitar for years. I found that I really like the design tweaks that Kauer has for their Banshee model. I saw this one and it has been on my mind since day one. Makes me think of my wife and the Allman Brothers song Blue Sky. Whenever I hear Blue Sky it makes me think of her. The color of the guitar is Blue Sky flake. So I will always have a reminder of her whenever I am playing. She green lighted the acquisition as an early 50TH Birthday present. I will be 50 in September. Here is a Pic.

I have a Kauer Daylighter. It's an awesome looking, playing, and sounding guitar. Just last night I played it through my Monza- a beast plugged into a beast. Yours has some great connections between the color, the song, and your wife!
Mine's blue as well!

I've never had GAS for a Firebird type but that's a really cool looking guitar with a great connection. Congratulations.

Thanks. Will be my first guitar with TV Jones pickups. It has powertron and powertron+ pickups. Love that it has stainless steel frets.

Love that it has stainless steel frets. My Daylighter has nickel silver Jescar frets. They apear to be very long wearing.
I currently have two guitars with stainless steel frets- a 2008 Carvin DC150 and a 2018 Music Man Cutlass RS HSS. I've put a lot of hours on the Carvin and there's negligible fret wear. It's like playing a guitar with new frets- every day!

Got the guitar a few weeks ago. Loving it so far. Very light. Weighs under 8 pounds. Has a lot of nice high end unplugged. Getting to know the Tv Jones Powertrons. Really appreciate their tone and character. Great alternative voice from my standard humbuckers and 80s. Here is a couple of pictures I took the other day.

That's a beauty, Paul! I really dig the color. My late wife bought me a 2017 Firebird T for my birthday the year she passed. It's really special, and yours is going to be special for you too. Firebirds rock.
