Kepma Eco-Friendly HPL Guitars

Okay, so when you hear HPL or “High Pressure Laminate”, you’re probably going to think of “Formica” kitchen countertops, or at the very least, cardboard. But hang on… don’t be so quick to judge.

Kepma’s HPL guitars are constructed from a durable, ultra hard laminated substrate that is extremely durable, abrasion resistant and also doesn’t react in extreme temperature and humidity environments so it’s very stable. Plus, you won’t believe the sound. Built using the same methods as our wood series guitars, the Kepma sound and playability of these instruments is unmatched in the HPL guitar arena.

So what makes our HPL Series Eco-Friendly and “Green”? Several reasons. First, it truly is a "green" guitar — no wood deforestation. No harmful chemicals in our water based finish. Minimal footprint on the planet for making guitars.

Secondly, Kepma is a company that follows international protocol for being responsible for the products they produce and distribute. Our methodical and ethical sourcing make Kepma one of the world's most responsible acoustic guitar factories in the world.

Owners Kevin Liu & Jack Peng have long been social activists for the environment. Our dolphin inlays on our Elite Mohagany series and flower inlays on our Elite Rosewood models are a nod to their flora and fauna dedication.
