Default Found a dealer "near" me that stocks Klos

One of the larger mom & pop shops near me, Manchester Music Mill, will occasionally get in a Rainsong. I've played them, and they sound, to my ear, "like a guitar." Good, but not so good that it justified the cost given my budget.

There's a dealer about 120 miles away, Northern Lights Music, that stocks Klos guitars, and according to their web site they have some in stock. I'm planning a day trip to play their full size guitars.

Be advised that Rainsong still ships with 80/20 strings on them. They sound considerably better once you ditch the horrible factory wires and put decent strings on them.

Thank you, but that does nothing for the $3k price tag. There are just too many other beautify sounding guitars that cost half that.

The Klos really needs to sound jaw droppingly beautiful even though its price tag is "only" $2k.

Op I have recently picked up a second hand full size Klos hybrid and was under 1k.

It does have most of the advantages of a full carbon fiber guitar but at a lot lower price.
