In this shop full of strange and wonderful guitars, a regular ole Klein guitar would fit right in. But this? The Deco? Instead, one of the five large-bodied guitars that Steve Kleincollaborated with Steve Kauffman and Paul Schmidt to create? No, this calibre of unique stands alone, even in a room of Symogyis, Matsudas, Walkers, and Olsons. These guitars are living legends, both in terms of their collectibility and the ferociousness of their voice. Klein’s guitars look almost as different as they sound, and that’s not a bad thing: the voice that booms out of this wide Brazilian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce soundbox is enveloping, loud, gorgeously articulate, with mids full of richness and a low end that sneaks up on your ear, until you find your head absolutely teeming with its huge, expansive voice–and all without the aid of a soundport in the upper bout! The custom made tuners (from David Rogers), integral Pearl nut, and Pearl-and-Abalone rosette which crouches on the bottom of the Ebony fretboard, when combined with Klein’s trademark asymetrical bridge and extra-wide lower bout, reveals a guitar which strikes as fresh and exciting a figure as its energetic and polyphonous voice. This guitar comes with a custom Calton Flightcase.
In all the world, there are only five guitars like this 2003 Deco from Steve Klein, Steve Kauffman, and Paul Schmidt. Of those five, this is the second to come through our doors. It's an honor to have the good fortune of offering another of these intensely unique and exuberantly voiced guitars in the shop. When you play a tune on this guitar, it becomes a total-body experience: the tone will vibrate right through you. Sadly, Steve is no longer practicing lutherie, but his legend lives on in originality of his designs and the innovations that make this Deco such a visually and acoustically distinctive instrument.
