HOWARD KLEPPER Classic

Friedrich Model Classic

Howard Klepper is a Master Luthier building unique instruments.
You can go to his site and see what he is up to at http://klepperguitars.com/. I liked his Classical guitar  and Howard was kind enough to give me a set of plans so we coluld make a few guitars based on his original. This is a big guitar with asymmetrical bracing. It has a big sound, a woody tone. and it is very responsive. We have a Cedar and a Spruce model. At first the Cedar model has more presence. It takes more time for the Spruce model to open up.
