| I have noticed some kline steels up for sale. Does anyone have any information or experience with these keyless guitars?Are they considered to be a good brand of universal guitar? |

I believe British pedal steeler B.J. Cole has played a Kline universal for many years, in many different settings.

| I have a Kline U-12 that I had converted to an extended E-9. I have always said that I will never own another guitar. It sounds great, stays in tune, doesn't break strings, and doesn't weight a ton. What more could I want? HOWEVER, having started out on a 68 Emmons PP, I do have a desire for one of them with 12 strings. I would not sell my Kline though, unless I just liked the Emmons better. Mine has the original Kline pickup and is rosewood mica. If all the Klines are like mine and like the one a friend of mine has, they are truly great guitars. I don't think anybody would go wrong buying one. They are not made anymore and I heard a rumor that Joe Kline had died. I hope it is not true and since I never saw a post about it on the forum, it probably isn't. |

| A side note, someone told me that Joe Kline invented the keyless tuning system. Anybody know the history of the keyless tuning? |

| Joe Kline is alive and well and enjoying his retirement. |

Red Rhodes had a keyless tuner on his Fender way back.
I put Kline keyless tuners on my Super Pro back around 1980.[This message was edited by chas smith on 04 June 2003 at 05:35 PM.] |
