When you think “Chinese guitars,” a certain stigma often comes to mind: instruments that are affordable but inconsistent, lacking in craftsmanship, and often disappointing in sound. Kepma completely turns that assumption on its head. From entry-level models to professional-grade instruments, Kepma has reimagined what a guitar can be, combining precision engineering, advanced technology, and outstanding playability—all at remarkable price points.
Precision Engineering Like No Other
Kepma guitars are produced in one of the most technologically advanced guitar factories in the world. Rows of CNC machines, robots, lasers, and even China’s first Plek machines ensure every fret, neck joint, and body contour is flawless. Unlike many guitars in this range, Kepma instruments undergo meticulous drying and humidifying processes for wood stability, resulting in a consistent, reliable instrument right out of the box. Even entry-level guitars benefit from this precision. The PLYTONE Series, including models like the EDC+ Dreadnought and EAC+ Grand Auditorium, uses the same bolt-on neck technology and CNC machining as their high-end All Solid series. This guarantees perfect neck-to-body fit, improved vibration transmission, and enhanced durability—an almost unheard-of level of quality for instruments in this price bracket.
In certain circles the brand has a well earned nickname "Chinese Taylor" :)
The AcoustiFex K-10 pickup and preamp system is a game-changer. It allows players to access chorus, reverb, and delay effects while playing unplugged, creating a whole new practice and performance experience. When plugged in, the same effects can be used for live performance.
The system is also Bluetooth® enabled, letting you stream audio from your phone, tablet, or computer through the guitar. This makes learning new songs, jamming with backing tracks, or performing live seamless and interactive—something no other guitar offers at this price point.
PLYTONE Series – Entry-point guitars that deliver remarkable sound and playability. Built with over 90% of the same processes as the All Solid series, these models now feature the precise bolt-on neck technology (the “+” in EDC+ and EAC+) and optional AcoustiFex K-10 system, making them far superior to typical entry-level instruments.
Travel Series – Compact, portable guitars perfect for on-the-go players without compromising sound quality or playability.
Solid Top Series – Higher-end guitars with solid tops and layered back/sides, providing excellent tone and resonance for intermediate to advanced players.
We have been searching for an entry-level price range guitar that we could sell without being embarrassed for years. Now, with Kepma, we finally have them. We believe these are the best value guitars in the €200–500 price range, hands down. No question. Come and try them yourself—compare them to other models in the same range, and you’ll immediately notice the difference in build, playability, and sound.
Whether you’re a beginner looking for a reliable first instrument, an intermediate player wanting a high-quality guitar for live performance, or a professional seeking an all-solid, stage-ready instrument, Kepma gives you an absurd amount of value for money. The revolutionary AcoustiFex effects and bluetooth system is pretty cool and the whole PLYTONE Series, in particular, proves that even “entry-level” instruments can play, sound, and feel like a guitar four times their price.
