When ordering a custom Klein & Kauffman, it’s go big or go home! This client build is a big boy 457 dressed to the nines with Pink Ivory back and sides (as well as headplate, bridge, and fingerboard), Bearclaw Sitka Spruce top, and Flamed Koa neck (plus bindings). A vine and flower inlay pattern from Larry Robinson extends from the headplate, across the fingerboard, and terminates at the bass-side bridge wing. Additional creature comforts include a soundport at the upper bout, and a slim playing weight of only five pounds. There’s a lot of real estate under the hood here; amazing that Steve manages to keep the weight so low. Ready to commission your own? Give us a shout!

I had so much fun spec'ing this build out for one of our clients. Pink Ivory is very rare, and the big set Steve used here is very impressive. 
Excellent balance between the bass and trebles here. The top end has a thickness and sparkling quality that livens up the voice overall, while the bass is classic Klein: big, bold, and expressive. | Scale Length | 25.4000 in |
