The specialist's opinion
As its name suggests, the ALL SOLID series from KEPMA offers high-end guitars made exclusively from solid woods.
Available in Dreadnought or Grand Auditorium cutaway format, the B1 models feature a solid Indian Rosewood back and sides, topped with a solid, torrefied Sitka Spruce top that has been patiently "Tap-Tuned" ( *) until it offers a perfect frequency response and tonal balance.
The combination of these woods, allied to a revisited X bracing which ensures stability while improving the projection of the instrument, makes the B1 incredibly sonorous. The Rosewood is an extremely delicate wood to work in the solid state because it is quick to split or to deform prematurely once "lowered" to the thickness required for the guitar bill. But thanks to a complete and rigorous wood treatment process, Kepma is able to guarantee the exceptional quality of the finished product. The guitar comes to life in your hands and you feel its temperament throughout your body as you play it. It's both bright and vibrant, while giving you incredibly detailed bass, as well as slightly darker undertones than you won't find anywhere else. Articulation is an essential parameter that the B1 renders with astounding precision and that it projects with that perfect balance that all musicians dream of, but that very few guitars are able to offer.
