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.
(*) Tap-Tuning: After having been fine-tuned, each table is "Tap-Tuned" (tuned to the ear) to measure the general balance and the frequency response. If the frequency profile does not conform perfectly to the desired one, the table is reintroduced into the CNC to perfect its refinement until its "tuning by ear" corresponds perfectly to the desired response profile for the instrument . 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 electro-acoustic models B1E Dreadnought and B1E Grand Auditorium are equipped with the LR Baggs Anthem Stage Pro Preamp, which was awarded the Player's Choice Award by Acoustic Guitar magazine. Delivered in TKL Custom Deluxe case.
