Steve Klein Guitars

2017

Concord, ma

Lyrical Luthier

The exhibit Steve Klein: Breaking the Mold was a showcase to the artistry and innovations of Steve Kleins’ lutherie skills over the last fifty years. Sting, Joni Mitchell, Stephen Stills, and Joe Walsh are a few of folks of note who own Steve’s guitars. Trace was able to visit Steve’s workshop and to say it was an inspiration fails to convey the alchemy of the space and the eloquence of the man.

A variety of Steve’s masterworks including the headless, harp, acoustic, basses and electric guitars were displayed along the walls for close viewing and  also available for Kinloch Nelson to grab off the wall and play, much to the delight of the audience.     

Deep appreciation to Wilson Schunneman and to his wife Jennifer Schunneman who both worked tirelessly to bring this exhibit to Concord and to photograph the show so beautifully.
