When we set out to design the KLŌS Grand Cutaway, our goal was simple: build a full-size Grand Auditorium cutaway acoustic-electric that delivers the balance, projection, and versatility players expect. But, without the constant humidity and temperature babysitting that traditional wood guitars demand. For working musicians, touring artists, and dedicated hobbyists alike, reliability matters just as much as tone. That’s exactly where the Grand Cutaway shines.
At its core, the Grand Cutaway is built with a carbon fiber composite body and neck, paired with our proprietary carbon double top and Negative Bracing system. This foam-sandwich soundboard (closed-cell foam layered between two sheets of carbon fiber) allows us to fine-tune strength, flexibility, and resonance in ways traditional tonewoods simply can’t. The result is a guitar with impressive volume, clarity, sustain, and balance across the fretboard. Whether you’re strumming full chords behind vocals, fingerpicking intricate passages, or playing melodic leads up the neck, this grand auditorium cutaway acoustic guitar responds with consistency and articulation.
The cutaway body design makes upper-fret access effortless, which is essential for modern players who move beyond the 12th fret. Combined with a 25.5" scale length, stainless-steel frets, and a 12" fingerboard radius, the Grand Cutaway feels familiar in your hands while offering the durability and stability carbon fiber is known for. Every instrument goes through our PLEK process to ensure precise fretwork and low, comfortable action. This will help it play cleanly whether you’re in a studio session or on stage night after night.
One of the biggest advantages of a carbon fiber acoustic-electric guitar is climate stability. Unlike traditional spruce, mahogany, or rosewood instruments from brands like Taylor, Gibson, or Martin, carbon fiber isn’t prone to swelling, cracking, or shifting with seasonal changes. That means fewer setup adjustments, more consistent tuning stability, and the freedom to travel without worrying about humidity swings. If you’ve ever brought a wood guitar from a dry winter rehearsal space into a humid summer venue, you understand how valuable that consistency can be.
For gigging musicians and touring artists, we’ve also engineered practical solutions into the design. The bolt-on detachable neck makes the Grand Cutaway a true touring guitar, allowing easier transport and pack-down without sacrificing structural integrity. It’s a feature that sets us apart in a market dominated by fixed-neck wood instruments.
Electronics flexibility is another key part of the value. We offer multiple pickup configurations to match your workflow—from straightforward plug-and-play systems to premium options like the LR Baggs Anthem or smart, feature-rich platforms. Whether you’re running direct into a PA, blending mic and pickup in the studio, or building a hybrid live rig, the Grand Cutaway adapts to your needs. That versatility makes it a powerful guitar for singer-songwriters, hobbyists, recording artists, and session players alike.
When you compare price and performance, the Grand Cutaway stands confidently alongside flagship models like the Taylor 814ce, Gibson Hummingbird cutaway models, or Martin’s Grand Performance series. But what truly differentiates us is the combination of carbon fiber durability, detachable neck design, advanced bracing platform, and modern electronics flexibility—all backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Ultimately, we built the KLŌS Grand Cutaway for musicians who want inspiring tone without maintenance drama. It’s a professional-grade, climate-stable, carbon fiber acoustic-electric guitar designed to stay ready. That way, you can focus on writing, performing, and creating music wherever the road takes you.
