KLOS X_MF_DAE_EQ Full Carbon Fiber F-Style Acoustic-Electric Mandolin w/ Electronics #5176

The sheer acoustic projection and structural immunity built into this modern acoustic-electric F-style mandolin revolutionize what a high-performance stage instrument can endure. KLOS engineered this entire body and neck assembly from a single, unified piece of high-modulus black carbon fiber, eliminating the traditional glued neck joint altogether. This unibody carbon construction generates an incredibly fast, punchy transient attack with ringing trebles, a dry, woody chop, and massive acoustic volume that cuts straight through any jam. Because carbon fiber does not expand, contract, or warp when exposed to extreme humidity swings, stage lights, or travel stress, it maintains absolute structural stability anywhere on earth—completely eliminating the need for a traditional truss rod.

Visually, the instrument presents a sleek, futuristic aesthetic that reimagines the classic F-style scroll and body points through a high-tech lens. The full carbon fiber weave is dressed in a crystal-clear gloss finish that catches light across the complex curves of the top and carved scroll. KLOS paired the dark carbon body with a sleek composite ebony fingerboard, Graphtech Nubone nut, and a floating adjustable ebony bridge. Anchored by KLOS Featherlite Pro tuning machines in your choice of satin chrome or gold plating, it offers an eye-catching visual statement that seamlessly blends traditional Florentine lines with state-of-the-art aerospace materials.

In the hands, it behaves with total, frictionless playability across its traditional 13.87-inch scale length. The neck features a comfortable "Soft V" to "C" blend profile, leading up to a 12-inch radius fingerboard fitted with 20 ultra-durable stainless steel frets that promise decades of zero fret wear. Measuring a player-preferred 1 1/8-inch nut width, string spacing remains exceptionally intuitive for fast double-stops and lightning-quick single-note runs. When it's time to plug in for live performances, the onboard EQ pickup system allows for precise tone shaping directly from the instrument, delivering an amplified acoustic signal with exceptional clarity, warmth, and feedback resistance. Strung up with long-lasting D’Addario XS Phosphor Bronze strings and equipped with a front strap button, the KLOS Acoustic-Electric F-Style mandolin with EQ is an indestructible, stage-ready workhorse built for serious performers, road warriors, and touring musicians.
