Holy Neck Dive, Batman!
Took a leisurely drive into the White Mountains to Northern Lights Music in Littleton, New Hampshire. They had a Klos full size full carbon guitar in stock, and I wanted to give it a test drive.
I love the herringbone pattern on the body & sound board. And it sounded "like a guitar." But goodness, the neck outweighed the rest of the guitar by quite a bit, leading to pronounced neck dive. I guess maybe that's why they have such tiny headstocks? I liked it, but I don't know if I liked it $2000 worth. They had a full size hybrid, carbon fiber & wood, for a good bit less, and while it played well & sounded good that's not what I want in a carbon fiber guitar.

Funny thing that ...
I have a Klos full size hybrid that I picked up used with a k&k. It came with the stock lower priced tuners. It's crazy light I decide I wanted to replace the tuners so I ordered the graphtech ratio tuners that are on the deluxe and full carbon. Went from being well balanced to neck divey. Huge weight difference. I bought some acrylic tuner buttons from Amazon and it helped immensely. I'm debating whether I will just go back to the stock or not. But at any rate tuners make all the difference.
