Solid Sitka Spruce Top, Solid African Mahogany Back & Sides...

The Kepma D1-130 all-solid dreadnought is the ultimate dreadnought for acoustic tone and playability. It features an all-solid construction with a AAA+ Alaskan Sitka Spruce Top and solid African Mahogany back and sides. What makes the D1 incredibly toneful is the combination of tonewoods and a re-engineered top bracing system that provides stability while enhancing the projection of the instrument. The D1-130 comes alive in your hands and you feel its character throughout your entire body as you play it. It’s bright where it needs to be, and gives you an amazingly detailed low end that you just won’t find on other solid instruments at this level. Articulation is extremely important and the D1-130 doesn’t disappoint. It projects with balance — something every player wants but few guitars deliver. The D1-130 delivers.

Every D1-130 has been meticulously crafted with the highest degree of precision to yield one of the finest playing guitars in the world. In addition, every D1-130 is set up using the Plek™ Fretboard dress & nut system, and every guitar is settled in the vibration room for 14 days (that’s 336 hours), the “playing equivalent” of just over 1 year. You could say that all of the Kepma Elite Series Guitars are “well adjusted” with no additional tweaking necessary. The Kepma D1-130 — Perfect. Every Time.
