mandolin Redefined
A New Standard
Combining traditional sensibilities with modern technologies, The KLOS Carbon Fiber Mandolin is your reliable and versatile work-horse mandolin.
Durable
This mandolin has a one-piece carbon fiber body and neck, with a seamless neck joint, and arch top soundboard. The carbon fiber delivers the durability and stability that we all crave in an instrument. No more cracks, warping, string action changes, and fear when using your mandolin. Take it on gigs, leave it in your car, always leave it out of the case, this piece of gear will change your relationship with playing mandolin.
Comfortable
The KLŌS mandolin is processed through one of the most advanced machines in the world: the PLEK machine. This computerized CNC machine levels the frets and cuts the string slots in the nut to the most precise positions super-humanly possible, allowing you to play more accurately and comfortable than what was possible before.
Reliable
Featuring a 12” radius in the fretboard which makes chord playing easier, stainless steel frets which will last a lifetime, traditional F holes, 3 carbon styles to choose from, and narrow to wide nut string spacing options. Because the neck joint has no heel, it creates unparalleled accessibility to the higher frets. High quality soft shell gig bag is included, which will help you keep it KLOS wherever you go.
Impressive
Perfectly Playable
String tension is no issue with carbon fiber. So, we're able to get the action insanely low, making one of the most comfortable mandolins to play.
Stunning Sound
Hear the KLOS difference for yourself.

DRIVEN BY INNOVATION
Building from Tradition
We're taking classic instrument design philosophy and injecting vision of the future, making instruments you won't want to leave behind.
Materials
Experience this expertly crafted carbon fiber material for yourself.
Our traditional black bi-lateral carbon fiber weave that you can see across all of our instruments since the beginning of KLOS. The sleek and defining "carbon fiber" style.
LOCALLY MADE
Born From The Rockies
We are proud to design, assemble and build our instruments in our home, using parts we source from top-tier global suppliers.
A Truss rod is not needed because the carbon fiber neck is extremely stiff and our plek machine will level the frets to the worlds best setup, giving the neck the perfect relief, and fallaway, resulting in the most incredible playability, and low string action. The nut is also shaped by hand and processed through the plek, to achieve low string height at the nut.
OUR PEOPLE ARE OUR ADVANTAGE
Crafted with Care
Musicians know what musicians want. As players ourselves, we know the difference between a guitar that you'll forget and one you can't get out of your mind.
