Congrats on a gem of a guitar from a Klepper fan.

The word, "rad," comes to mind. I really want to try that pernambuco OM-30 at Schoenberg.

Great looking rosewood! She's a beauty.

Thanks guys. I am looking forward to a little deck time with this guitar!

I would like to have a go at the pernambuco OM-30 at Schoenberg as well. That guitar was in pieces when I visited Howard and was tempting then.

Congratulations on your Klepper; looks fantastic. I've been interested in his work for quite a while, but have not been fortunate enough to see or play one.

I wasn't aware that Howard has a recent pernambuco build; thanks for the heads up. That's quite a lovely guitar; he seems to have an amazing stash of woods.

Hi all - I have been playing this guitar for a week and it is, to me, a very special guitar. I am not sure how to best describe tone but Mau's above eloquence is an excellent summary.

I want to thank Howard. He is a pleasure to work with - very knowledgeable and a great communicator. The term may be overused however 'artisan' aptly describes Howard in my mind.

Thanks Howard!
