Koa Klein Copy



Yet another Steve Klein look alike with a Koa body.

The lower bout looks a little too sharp. Personally I like the softer edge on the real thing.

I have no idea who built this one. The builder also was too budget conscious to use good pickups or a quality neck.



The neck on this guitar appears to be a Spirit neck which is considered to be very inexpensive and not in keeping with Ned Steinberger's actual design.



I have made a number of Klein copies for people who could not afford the real McCoy and I can assure anyone that the quality & fit are every bit as good as the original. Here at Ed Roman's we won't build it unless we can build it better than the original. The Klein guitars are very very spendy, You will pay as much as 3 times as much for a Klein as an Ed Roman replica. If you decide to purchase an Original Klein please call me and I will give you some thoughts on which models to buy, what to pay and lately I usually have one in stock. I know many Klein owners, so it is also possible that I could locate something for you.

Steve Klein sold his company off to a third party who I think is out of business, No one has heard much for 2 or 3 years. These guitars were also pretty good, but if you want an original Klein you have to go backwards a way. The same as PRS, Gibson, Steinberger etc... The originals hold their value and the new ones are just general merchandise.
