Edward Klein is well suited to the challenging work involved in lutherie.  Having a well rounded formal education in both technical and artistic disciplines, it is evident that Ed incorporates a multifaceted and inventive approach into his guitar making.  A luthier interview from  guitarbench.com reveals more about this maker and is available here.

From traditional classical to avant garde steel string, every effort is given to achieve building an acoustically superb and visually compelling instrument that is a pleasure to play. ‘My reward is to know that my creations are enjoyed and appreciated for these same reasons.’

'Ellipse' guitar
Guitar? Art? Perhaps Guitart?  Learn more about this new and exciting design.

Recent projects represent some departure from convention, respect for tradition notwithstanding, with the intention of exploring alternatives that potentially improve function, provide beneficial features, or simply offer a different aesthetic treatment. It is to this end that Ed continues  investigating form, surface, structure and the use of different materials and methods of fabrication in the design of the guitar.
