NGD: TITAN KR1 verde chiaro with Lollar P90s

[biro]

see page 2 for my first impression

let's start with something simple...
hints:
american made
offset-ish
biro

[zenarcade]

Fender Coronado?

[Embenny]

"Offset-ish"?

[biro]

no, it's not a fender.

well, i'm not sure if it is correct to define that guitar as an offset...
the waist is not symmetrical, but at the same time it's not that offset...

[Zork]

Firebird?

[Larry Mal]

Yeah, Firebird is my guess, too.

[biro]

no, it's not a firebird.

what we know so far:

- american made
- offset-ish
- not a coronado
- not a fender
- not a firebird

new hint:

- it's a boutique guitar

(when you get tired of all this, let me know and i'll post pics)

Considering these forums and the people on it, I'm going to assume it's a Kauer, bilt, or fano... hoping it's not that prs offset... kinda like it to be a titan kr1... I want to hear about their stuff.

[FightingPlankton]

Also could be a rhoney...but I'm guessing that's less likely than my previous 3 suggestions.

[FightingPlankton]

Final guess from me. Fret king fkv3je

and Titan KR1 it is!
(i knew boutique was going to be more than a simple hint).
i have not received it yet, but i really can't wait!
i've found a decent 2nd hand deal (sorry Dougk, i really mean that), in UK, so it was a no brainer for me UE citized to go that route (no customs, no expencive shipment, no long waits).

btw, now that we know it is a titan kr1, would you guys define these guitars as offsets?

Nothing simple about it... I did a lot of work. Looked at your profile, saw you were in italy, went to ebay.it to check which boutiques are available in your area, cross referenced that info with a list of American boutique Luthiers then narrowed it to the one that wasn't offset but looked like it should be.

[FightingPlankton]

Which pickup configuration did you get? Bigsby? No bigsby?

[FightingPlankton]

To be fair... titan is only half American. Doug said he only wanted to put the kauer name on American instruments so they came up with titan as a line to compete in the $1200 market. Here's a great thread:

wow, it took a lot of research... you did a geat job then!
pickup configuration is two lollar P90, bridge is top load hardtail bridge with tele style barrel saddles.
about the guitar being only half american, i think you might be wrong.
doug takes care of the manufacturing of the body, while necks are manufactured by another trusted luthier located in california. infact, those guitars are not only made in USA, those are actually made in california (as stated on titan guitars' web site).
i hope i'll get my hands on mine within this week.
