Our Full Carbon Series guitars feature a detachable carbon fiber neck cast in durable epoxy and features a fully composite fretboard. These components ensure exceptional resilience against changes in humidity and weather. Since the neck and body are both carbon fiber, the resonance and tone of the guitar benefit from the similar vibrational mechanics to give you an astounding playing experience every time you pick up the guitar.

Your KLOS Full Carbon guitar
Screwdriver for removing the neck
Hex wrench to adjust the truss rod
Upgraded Graph Tech TUSQ nut and saddle

Hear the KLOS difference for yourself

NEVER LEFT BEHIND

Designed to stay out of the case

While most high end guitars need to be kept in a case with a humidifier and babied, this guitar was designed to stay out of the case, ready to play at all times. KLOS Acoustic guitars are durable, with temperature and humidity having no effect on carbon fiber. Our mission is to make guitars that are never left behind. Now with a KLOS, you can take your guitar with you and have the piece of mind that it’s durable and reliable.

RUGGED AND DURABLE

Discover Carbon Fiber

Carbon fiber is significantly more durable than wood, and more resilient to dents, cracking and the elements. While a carbon fiber guitar is still an instrument that deserves respect and love, at KLOS we believe that it should be treated more like a piece of gear that is never left behind.

METICULOUS PRECISION

Amazing Playability

Achieving the perfect playability is an art, and that’s what makes a guitar easy to play. The nut, frets, truss rod, and bridge, all have an influence on the string playability, getting them all to work together perfectly is what makes a guitar feel like home. Here at KLOS we take playability very seriously, that’s why we put a lot of attention into leveling the frets, filing the nuts, and adjusting the saddles. Each guitar then gets played up and down the neck by our inspectors to confirm it’s worthy to have a KLOS logo and go out the door.

HOW DOES IT SOUND?

Beautiful Tone

How does a carbon fiber guitar sound, compared to wood? If you do a blind test, most people can’t tell the difference. That being said, comparing carbon fiber to wood, there are a lot more variables that you can more precisely control to achieve a great sound, and that is exactly what we did.

LOCALLY MADE

Ships from our factory in Salt Lake City Utah

We are proud to have our factory located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, which was the original inspiration for combining adventure with guitars. We are proud to do the design, assembly, and most of the building in our own factory in Utah, and we buy parts and materials from world renowned factories overseas.

OUR PEOPLE ARE OUR ADVANTAGE

Crafted with Care

A big question we ask ourselves is: which part of the guitar building process requires the most skill, and impacts the player the most? The first half or the second half? Our answer: the second half. So we outsource some parts and materials (the first half), and keep the second half of the manufacturing process in house, and do it ourselves. This allows us to scale as a company and focus on building quality instruments that are incredible to play.

Do I want a Travel or Full Size?

Pair large text with an image to tell a story, explain a detail about your product, or describe a new promotion.Our KLOS Acoustic Full size guitar sounds like a great quality wood guitar, and the KLOS travel size guitar sounds great but with a smaller sound. If you really want a great tone, we recommend you buy the full size guitar, if you want a small guitar for travel, but still a surprisingly loud sound, then you should get the travel guitar.

extra portable

Detachable Neck

The bolt-on neck is one of the game-changing features of our guitars. It’s perfect for those moments when you need to put it in a suitcase or you are in a crunch for space. Since guitars in general are very portable, making them durable and easy to travel with is naturally the best solution. All our guitars have the detachable neck function.

The Hybrid wood necks, and the carbon necks have four metal threaded inserts that are permanently installed, in which the four bolts go into, allowing you to take the neck on and off an unlimited amount of times.

Bolt on Acoustic guitars are not very common because they are difficult to design out of wood, but with the KLOS patented injection molded neck block, we were able to achieve incredible results and have all the benefits of a detachable neck on an acoustic guitar.

FOR JOURNEYS LARGE AND SMALL

KLOS Convert gig bag

The patented KLOS Convert Gig Bag has the unique feature of having 2 modes of operation. It works as a standard gig bag when the guitar is fully assembled, and also when the neck is detached, unbolted and collapsed. That’s right, the same bag works for when the guitar is folded and when it’s fully assembled. When the neck is detached, the neck goes in the neck sleeve, on the side of the folded gig bag.

The gig bag materials are made from the same stuff that camping backpacks are made out of, making it durable and reliable. With the guitar itself being very durable, a traditional hard case is not as necessary for most day to day use, making the KLOS soft case gig bag is the perfect choice for the KLOS guitar.

COMPACT AND ICONIC

Headstock Details

The headstock is a compact shape, making the overall length of the neck shorter, with a 3+3 tuner pattern that still has the same spacing as a 6 in a row, making tuning your strings just as comfortable, yet feel lighter. The tuners are the heaviest part of the neck, so keeping the weight of the tuners down, and having a lightweight carbon neck will make guitar playing for hours even more enjoyable.

The headstock break angle is 11 degrees, making it the optimal angle to have the perfect string force on the nut. This lowers the friction of the string on the nut, which lowers the chances of your strings going out of tune on their own, and makes tuning your strings more precise. When you look at the neck from a front view, you will also see that the strings go in almost a straight line, which also lowers the friction on the nut, which also helps create optimal tuning.

ENGINEERED TO OUTLAST

Neck features

The carbon neck has a truss rod like most wood guitar necks, but it’s not for the purpose of strength, it’s for the purpose of adjusting the bow of the neck to the exact preference of every player. We adjust the truss rod to the most popular neck relief in our factory , but it can be easily adjusted by every musician with the included wrench.

The fretboard on the neck is a composite synthetic ebony which does not expand or contract with temperature or humidity changes or with time. That means you will never have issues with sharp frets, and your great great grandchildren won’t either. The beautiful ebony-like fretboard is dense, durable and smooth.

STRESS-TESTED FOR REAL LIFE

Design of the carbon neck

A guitar neck is long and thin, which is why it is even more important that it is stronger, lighter and more reliable than any wood neck.

The most common place for a wood neck to break is where the neck meets the headstock. With a carbon neck, this position is equally as strong as any other part of the neck, so you can rest assured that you have the strongest neck in the world.

KLOS Full-Size report from the road

I bought a full-size to use as a touring guitar. I am a singer-songwriter and I've always hated trying to get my guitar into the airline cabin. With the KLOS I can easily break it down and carry it on. The sound of the guitar is very good for a performance guitar. For that amount of money you could find many traditional guitars that sound a little better in my opinion, but if you're going to perform and plug the guitar in through a sound system, it's going to sound as good as any other good guitar, based on my experience. It also sounds more than good enough direct mic'd or just as an acoustic. I got a number of nice complements on the sound and the look of the guitar. I am using the supplied Fishman electronics and they sound nearly identical to what I have installed on my Martin. Although it's a full-size guitar, the neck is a little narrower than my favorite guitars and it's taken me some getting used to. It fingers very smoothly as you might expect with a carbon fiber neck, and the neck radius is comfortable for me. I did have an intonation problem with the guitar as delivered -- there was a prominent buzz on the second string - but I was able to use the supplied wrench to adjust the action to a level that is comfortable but eliminated the buzz. I also have a KLOS travel-size that's nice for singing at a campfire or practicing in a hotel room, but personally the sound is not full enough for me to use it as a performance guitar. If you want a solid full-size guitar that makes going through the airport a breeze; looks, sounds, and plays well; is super-light to carry; and will take whatever you throw at it without concern, you will love it.

Truly a professional company

I had a number of phone conversations with Klos' customer support help desk before purchasing mainly because there are no distributors near me. The 30-day money back guarantee was conforting and the Klos team did a great job making sure I was happy with the purchase. Love how it plays. No comprimise at all. Thank you!

Plays extremely well, sounds amazing, and looks awesome! The only thing that kinda bugs me is the tuning keys are to close I tend to touch the others when tuning. Other than that it’s fantastic!

Excellent for travel and outdoor playing

I'm in an arid part of the SW. I've been nervously packing my nice wood guitars around to jams and such and trying to be careful not to leave them in the car too long. I bought a full size carbon fiber/full carbon model as I plan to do some flying with it this summer and wanted something easier to get around with than my wood guitars. I have been pleasantly surprised how much I like the Klos guitar sound, and I'm using this a lot for playing outdoors even at home (no worries leaving it out on the porch for a bit and no worries about the dogs knocking it over). As well, its so nice to be able to leave it in the hot vehicle instead of having to pack it around when I am running errands in town before the evening jam sessions. The action on it is low and easy to play, mine does not feel like it needs a luthier setup (I have had setups on all of my other guitars to make them just right). Its easy to assemble and disassemble. If anything, its a bit loud and projective for my needs but that's fine because it sounds really good and I can always palm mute. A gust of wind recently caused a sprinkler to hit me while playing and it was just nothing to worry about. Its also nice in my climate to have a guitar that can just sit out without worrying about humidification. Now that the strings have had a couple of weeks to stretch its staying nicely in tune. I'd recommend these to anyone that is adventurous and wants a low maintenance, good sounding guitar that is easy to travel with.
