Steve Klein / M-43 / 1997 / Natural / Guitar
|
This is a rare Steve Klein M.43 in excellent condition. Steve is not building at this time, but is well known for making instruments for Joni Mitchell, Michael Hedge, Steve Miller, Andy Summers & Sting! The M.43 body is 16 3/4" at the lower bout but it's easy to hold sitting or standing. Klein necks always play tremendously well and it's easy to fret anywhere on the neck. The voice is very unique with strong projection, superb clarity and a throaty growl and the intonation is superb. Somehow, even with this large body, Steve manages to harness the voice and keep it strong but not at all boomy. This one is Indian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce, both are Master Grade and exquisite. We are extremely happy to offer you this rare preowned Steve Klein M.43. This one includes a Calton Flight Case and Highlander IP-2dual source pickup system.
