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 itâs durable and reliable.Â
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 thatâs 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, thatâs 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 itâs worthy to have a KLOS logo and go out the door.Â
HOW DOES IT SOUND?
Beautiful Tone
How does a carbon fiber guitar sound, compared to wood? If you do a blind test, most people canât 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.Â


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.Â
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:Â 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?
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.Â
extra portable
Detachable Neck
The bolt-on neck is one of the game-changing features of our guitars. Itâs 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.Â
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.Â
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. Thatâs right, the same bag works for when the guitar is folded and when itâs fully assembled. When the neck is detached, the neck goes in the neck sleeve, on the side of the folded gig bag.Â
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.Â
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 itâs not for the purpose of strength, itâs 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.Â
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 wonât 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.Â
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.


Trust the reviews!
I had a chance to play the McPherson full size but it was too heavy for travel and doesnât come apart. The Klos full size is SO much lighter and the body responds so well like it was made from wood. The sound is very good. If they end up making a dreadnaught full size I would be on board to get one. The reviews were pretty accurate in their testimonials as I decided to purchase this guitar without having played it. If youâre on the fence about it, itâs worth getting.

We are so glad we could impress with our full size! Thanks for the awesome review Simon!

Even better than expected...and I expected a lot!
After getting a KLOS hybrid travel guitar on a Black Friday sale and being deeply impressed, I ordered a full-carbon full size. I expected to like it, but even so was blown away by the sound quality, unplugged and plugged in (I installed a K&K pickup). The other thing that impresses me every time I pick up the guitar is how playable they are - these are premium instruments. I bought them to have a durable alternative to taking out my Martins to play at the lake or when the weather is uncooperative, and ended up with an instrument I like just as well as the others. They've got this dialed in. There are rumblings about KLOS making mandolins in the future, and there's a real good chance that I'll be buying one. Highly recommended!

Thanks for the awesome review Russell! We couldn't be happier that we were able to impress you with our full carbon full size guitar. And that mandolin is coming very soon, so be on the lookout!

Thank you
Will be my plane guitar, is on the Mayan coast with me right now where humidity is extreme so far no issues sounds great better than any travel guitar I have owned. The ease of travel is great no more checking my guitars or looking for the oversized baggage at airports .

Best Christmas Gift!
Loving having a quality guitar again! My wife gave me the full-size carbon fiber guitar for Christmas & Iâm so enjoying playing again. Also looking forward to having music on our annual canoe-damping trip.

Be sure to send any photos you get from your trip our way! We are so glad to hear you are loving your new guitar. Keep it KLOS!

As requested.
Most favourable. Nico was very pleasant to deal with and my son who lives in high humidity Costa Rica is happy to have a guitar that should not come unglued like other wood constructed guitars have.

A truly fine instrumentâŠ
I own quite a few high end guitars along with multiple travel guitars of every shape, size and configuration. This Full Sized Full Carbon Acoustic Electric isâŠ.there are just no words. It unique! A very fine instrument thatâs bulletproof, has flawless intonation, stays n tune, with flawless fit and finish, plus, it sounds amazing both plugged and unplugged AND NO worries about it being left in the car or playing it in the rain. Itâs simply the best of every world. Iâm meticulous with my instruments too. If one has a gig bag, I buy a hard shell case for itâŠbutâŠthis guitar by itself is waaaay tougher than any hard shell case I own so the backpack gig bag equipped with a rain fly keeps it super lightweight to tote around and the guitar itself is so tough you could drive golf balls or nails with it all day long. It also turns heads. From the die hard relics that play high end and vintage guitars that taken aback but itâs sound, to the average person that is fascinated by its great looks and major coolness factor. My only problem seems to be with me kicking myself wondering why I spent so long as a skeptic and put off buying it for as long as I did. The photo is of my street music setup and if you guys ever build a baritone, count me in!
