We want your first experience playing the guitar to be perfect…
The new Kepma K3 Series Dreadnought Cutaway guitars are the entry point into the Kepma Line, but hardly “entry-level” quality. The K3 Series is manufactured with the same techniques and over 90% of the same processes as our Elite Series Guitars (see video at the right). The K3 Dreadnought Cutaway models are impeccably built and have a fit and “feel” similar to guitars in $600 - $750 price range, but are not nearly that expensive. The reason? We build guitars the correct way, and we build them for you (and us), not for other manufacturers. The “profit” that other companies take from a guitar sale comes straight out of the quality and specification of the instrument and really leaves nothing there for the player but a cheaply built, poor quality guitar. Pick up a $200 guitar in a retail store and you’ll feel it… a lot of “brand name” inexpensive guitars feel like they’ll fall apart on you. Try playing a note at the 12th fret and feel your forearms burn.
Not so with the Kepma K3 Series. We put the same attention to detail in every guitar we make because we know that your musical journey starts here, so we want to make sure it’s the best possible experience you can have. We know that if we make an inexpensive guitar that’s easy to play, you’ll stick with it and keep playing. A guitar is a tool, and you deserve the best tool for the job no matter what the level. Kepma K3 Series guitars are the right tool. Trust us. We’ve been playing a long time, but still remember the first time…
