Howard Klepper Guitars: Every guitar I build is a one-of-
a-kind, custom instrument. I have no standard model names or numbers. I work slowly; my output is about 10 guitars each year. I work on my guitars one at a time, and do not have more than two under construction--in different stages--at any time. This allows me always to be attentive to an instrument's unique qualities. It also allows me to keep feeling that my work is fun. photo ©www.alliedlutherie.com
