Make two guitars of the same shape, wood, electronics, and they will not 
sound exactly the same.  Change any of those factors, and they will be 
further apart.  I'm pretty sure that not even all Kleins sound identical, but 
they all fall within a certain characteristic range.

Lorenzo told me that every curve of the shape of that guitar has a purpose.  
Who am I to dispute that?  As for his business: what did you expect?   
Besides, if he told you all of his secrets, you'd certainly be closer to 
making one.  

I saw a Klein-clone on ebay once - it looked really good, nice exotic wood 
body (not basswood or swamp ash), and according to the text in the auction 
page, the neck was purchased from Klein.  If he had truly found the secret, 
as it were, then why was he selling the guitar on ebay?

Go buy a cheap Steinberger to play during your waiting period, and sell it 
when your Klein arrives.  Your life will change.
