The Story of Kepma - USA.

Meet Jack and Kevin. The two boys have a passion for music, a love of guitar, and a passion for making things better.

Jack Peng & Kevin Liu have known each other since elementary school. They grew up in an environment where music was part of the family structure and they taught themselves to play guitar on the simplest instruments they could afford.

By their college years, they were both studying mechanical engineering, and upon graduation they concluded that something had to be done with the quality of the guitars being manufactured. That's when they decided to work together to develop techniques and manufacturing processes to create the finest musical instruments on the planet.

In the past, when working for OEM guitar factories, they have witnessed with their own eyes that most imported guitars have bad sound and don't play well. They have seen famous American names plastered on top of guitars over and over again without passion and with well-made parts.

They noticed inconsistencies in quality, workmanship, sound, and playability. And they know there's another way. A better way.

Time for a change.

So in 2009, with start-up capital from some college friends supporting, the Kepma Guitar Company was born. Jack and Kevin have invested in high-tech machinery including a range of CNC machines to cut, mill and fabricate components consistently for their first guitar design - the A1, combined with the perfect balance of Skilled and trained craftsmen. Kepma's reputation for quality quickly spread throughout the country and by 2015, Kepma was the leading acoustic guitar brand in China.

As the company's sales grew, Jack and Kevin continued to explore all aspects of guitar manufacturing. Their technical mind and passion for renowned manufacturers from all over the world have made them on a mission to create a premium product using their philosophy of creating a premium product. product and make it perfect.

Influence of Science and Art to create the ELITE series.

With Kepma's strong foothold in the domestic market for a variety of popular guitars, they then set their sights on a new high-end standard called Elite. While most producers were in the "race to the bottom," Jack and Kevin saw an opportunity to please players looking for an instrument that would actually be instrumental in the performance. A line of guitars with all the construction and tone standards of the high end manufacturers but at a price to match.

Kepma began consulting with legendary American luthiers and world-renowned luthier builders.

Their craftsmanship is validated by sound spectrum analysis and modal simulations - proving that guitar making is a combination of high-level science and art.

Each solid spruce top of the Kepma Elite Guitar is fully evaluated and graded for frequency response, tuned by tapping and tapering to create a solid top with perfect sound.

The new high-end guitars will also take their production to the next level unmatched. In addition to adding more computer-controlled machinery, the new guitars will be manufactured using ever more precise robotics and automation, including custom-built machines. dedicated to new methods of guitar making.

Every Kepma Elite guitar is manufactured using the most advanced CNC and laser machines as well as robotic equipment that makes them precision engineered to 0.001" tolerances. Kepma Elite guitars are always perfect.

Many German precision Plek machines not only perform precise fretboard tuning, but also support quality control and R&D. Kepma was and is the first manufacturer in China to use Plek technology.

The combination of precision CNC fabrication and machining of the components required for the neck, the combination of two carbon fiber rods and a two-way neck alignment rod for increased durability and fine tuning. together with the final finishing of the keyboard and neck with Plek® makes each perfect Kepma Elite Guitar Neck.

Each guitar undergoes 300 hours of vibration to cure and loosen the wood. This artificial aging process means that the new Kepma on the market has a classic sounding sound the first time it opens the box.

Every Kepma Elite Guitar has to go through 300 hours of vibration to "age" the instrument. This is equivalent to playing it every day for over a year. This process ensures that every Kepma Elite Guitar is perfect.
