What Our Partners Say About Us

As you can imagine, we work with a lot of companies around the globe to obtain the level of precision, quality and integrity of the Kepma brand. In fact, each Kepma Elite Series guitar contains sourced materials from over a dozen countries and are meticulously made on equipment from the world's most advance machinery providers. Here are few morsels from some of our manufacturing and supply partners...

“Kepma’s use of ABB robots for the painting, sanding and buffing of their guitars is similar to applications ABB robots are used for in the manufacturing of high quality goods from smart phones to luxury watches and some of the world’s top performance automobiles. The precision capabilities ensure the highest consistent quality, reliability in production and safety in the work environment.”

During the manufacturing process, Kepma Elite utilizes multiple ABB robotic machines to ensure that the finishing, sanding and buffing processes are perfect - every time.

“Kepma is one of the first guitar companies in China to install Plek machines into their facilities. They now have multiple Plek machines that they use not only for production but also utilize in their R&D and quality control processes. Plek technology ensures that each Kepma guitar is shipped in its best possible playing condition.”

— Michael Dubach, Managing Director, Marketing and Operations, Plek

Every Kepma Elite Guitar neck and fretboard has been set up utilizing state of the art Plek® technology to ensure a perfectly set up and playable guitar - every time.

“After visiting the Kepma factory 3 years ago, and again last month, it was clear they have a true passion in producing and constantly improving their manufacturing facilities, testing labs, and overall knowledge to create an outstanding guitar playing experience. We are elated to work with Kepma, and proud that our TUSQ saddles stood above the rest in their relentless pursuit of great tone and performance”.
