The Kepma Fenix Series of Grand Auditorium Guitars is the most advanced yet affordable solid top guitar in the line. It’s priced so anyone can afford a super-high quality guitar with exceptional tonal characteristics, plus with the addition of the AcoustiFex® K-10 Pro Pickup, Preamp & FX system, you’ll experience a level of sound and inspiration that’s completely alone in its class. The non-pickup model is $249.99, and the AcoustiFex® addition is just $299.99. Unbelievable value.
However, there are quite a few innovations that separate these guitars from the others… other than price/value. Kepma is a technology focused company with the goal of combining science and art to produce some of the best instruments in the world.
First, the Solid Top…
Did we mention that this guitar has a torrefied solid top? The proprietary Kepma Torrefication Process uses a combination of controlled heat and humidity over a period of time to draw the moisture, oils and sap from the cellular structures in the wood to the surface, which is then sanded off. This process adds additional strength and stability to the tops while making them less reactive to atmospheric condition changes. Every solid Kepma top goes through this highly controlled process and it yields tops that react better to string vibration, are more “lively” and definitely more stable.

Proprietary Phosphor Bronze Coated Strings
Our advanced coating technology effectively provides oxidation and corrosion resistance, which significantly extends the life of the strings. Made from phosphor bronze (wound around a steel core), these strings inject a rich, bright sound ensuring that every performance is filled with expressiveness and depth.
New 4-Point Bolt-on Neck Joint
Our new bolt-on neck joint is an industry first at this level. It provides stability like no other joint, plus it allows for precise and infinite adjustment should it be needed. Plus, with this design there’s no pooling of guitar finish at the point of contact making future adjustment and maintenance a breeze!
Ultra-thin Water-Based Finish
The precise application of the finish on a guitar is critical for both protection AND tonal properties and projection. Kepma’s ultra-thin (0.042mm) water-based finish is not only environmentally friendly and durable, but also boasts exceptional gloss and hardness. When applied in an ultra-even thin layer, it virtually does not interfere with the guitar's vibration transmission, ensuring a purer, more natural sound that perfectly showcases the wood's natural tonal beauty.
AcoustiFex® K10 Pro System
The Newly Upgraded AcoustiFex® K10 Pro System features an enhanced vibration pickup system, built-in Reverb, Delay & Chorus, plus bluetooth audio streaming and a companion app. You can connect your guitar to any Bluetooth source and play music or backing tracks through the guitar, both unplugged and when plugged into an amp or mixing console.
Plus, the OTG interface lets you hook up to the app to enable the looping function and rhythm section for composing on the fly and improv & practice. Additionally, built-in features such as a metronome, tuner, and drum machine make practice more engaging and efficient, elevating your overall guitar learning experience.
Beveled Binding for more comfort
High-quality ABS beveled binding provides exceptional durability and damage resistance. The carefully designed binding not only effectively prevents damage to the guitar edges from bumps but also enhances the overall stability and visual depth of the body, ensuring the guitar remains both beautiful and durable for years to come.
“C” Shaped Fast Neck
The C-shaped FAST neck design offers a smooth, natural feel that reduces hand fatigue and enhances playing fluidity, allowing players to effortlessly master various playing styles. Even during fast playing, it maintains a comfortable grip and with the satin finish coating on the back of the neck, fast playing is a a breeze!
