Our latest 426 from Steve Klein and Steve Kauffman is hands down a knockout. Gorgeous Myrtlewood back and sides with lovely dramatic figure, paired with a Torrefied Sitka Spruce top, makes for a quick, lively, and expressive guitar that’s equally at home with a pick as fingers. The 426 body fills the niche between their 396 and the full tilt 457, and that middle ground gives a great balance of projection and note definition. Add a soundport to the mix, plus all the usual Klein innovations like the integrated nut, access panel, and engineered bridge, and you’ve got a one-of-a-kind modern guitar on your hands.

The Klein design is like nothing else. If you're looking for a guitar that really takes you somewhere new this might be the one. There's always a powerful bass response and support for the chime that fills the top end in the midrange has a special quality to it. It will take you away. 
Power, balance, and articulation. I love this model 426 from Klein & Kauffman. Very comfortable to play, and it soaks up altered tunings like a fingerstyle sponge. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
