Re: Klein Electric Guitar



Someone was talking earlier about the gorgeous tone and sustain the
Klein guitars produce. My question is this - is this true for clean
sounds? My number one guitar is a 15 year old G&L Skyhawk (strat style
replaced by the Legacy) with a solid maple body. Through a good tube amp
this ax sounds beautiful. I know the Steinberger, and I suppose the
Klein, sound great for very high gain, overdriven tones like Alan
Holdsworth uses, but do they project an acoustic richness and complex
woody sounds?
  I have equipped this guitar with a Hot Rails humbucker (single coil
footprint) and a 2 position switch that taps that pickup and turns it on
all the time. With this and the stock 5 position pickup selector, I can
get all seven pickup combinations.
