Anyone have experience with KLOS CF guitars?
 
Looks to be a CF body with Wood neck?. I also see a detachable neck version?
Made in the USA. Inexpensive pricing its seems compared to other CF guitars.
Would these be susceptible to humidity or temp. due to the wood neck? looks to have a truss rod as well.

Anyone played one of these?

I looked into these. They are smaller so more suitable for travel. I was pretty enthused that they were going to be an affordable CF guitar.

The main worrisome part of a guitar, for humidity concerns, is the thin soundboard and body. The solid chunky neck is not much of a concern.

I read a review and comments that they sounded pretty bad.

Their price point is kind of awkward too......$600 is so much higher than a disposable guitar, I might be tempted to just buy 4 cheapy guitars and throw them away.

And for CF, for a little more I could get a real, ALL cf guitar.

When I read that the sound was disappointing, I lost all interest


For a $300 upcharge you can get upgraded tuners, graphtech black nut & saddle and upgraded strings.......seriously? I'm thinking the profit margin on this upcharge is substantially higher than the base guitar.

Thanks, I was curious. for around 1K used there are some nice small body all CF guitars out there. I was leaning towards a Journey Of660 for a travel guitar.

They sound okay to me. Sorta like an inexpensive campfire/travel guitar.
