Wow…interesting video… 🙂
Hey, thanks Robert for featuring that… it’s not the cleanest performance but what the heck. That Klein is actually not mine. I was borrowing it for 2 days from a friend. I now have one of my own though, with a Brazilian rosewood neck. I have no videos yet though. Too busy playing it!
The Klein is much warmer and smoother than the Forshage in general, except that the Forshage’s neck pickup is more classic jazz than the Klein. The Forshage is very woody and dynamic, definitely a hollowbody. The Klein tends to fall squarely into the electric camp.
Anyway… they’re both awesome. 🙂
Roger, it’s my pleasure! I enjoyed both the composition and the performance and I thought others would as well.
Thanks for the mini-comparison of the Klein and Forshage. I’m looking forward to your videos with your “new” Klein!
