Manufacturer's Description:

Grand Auditorium Body style featuring a Solid Alaskan Sitka Spruce Top, Indian Mahogany Back & Sides and (optional) revolutionary AcoustiFex 2 pickup, preamp & FX system, Natural or Sunburst finish…

A grand Grand Auditorium for the masses… the Kepma Elite Series GA2-232 models are the entry point to the Kepma Elite Series instruments featuring solid spruce tops, Indian Mahogany back and sides, and the level of playability that makes them worthy of the Elite series moniker.

The GA2-232A is a grand auditorium body shape cutaway guitar that features a AA+ solid Alaskan spruce top and Indian mahogany back & side construction. It provides you with an amazing level of “electric-like” playability while maintaining a warm yet crisp balance across the entire tonal spectrum. This GA model offers impeccable high-precision build and simply amazing sound.  

The Grand Auditorium body shape is designed to provide you with a perfectly balanced acoustic sound — full frequency reproduction and articulation with every note — and access to the higher registers for upper fret acrobatics and unique chord voicings.

The GA2-232 models differ from the GA2-131 models in that they have not been Plek® setup nor vibrated for 300 hours, ship with proprietary coated acoustic guitar strings (most Kepma Elite series guitars feature Elixir Nanoweb or D’Addario XP coated strings) but still provide an amazing amount of value and tone for the price. Compared with other guitars at this price from other manufacturers, there is no comparison — the GA2-232 will absolutely stun your senses.

The new Kepma AcoustiFex 2 system, available in the GA2-232A and GA2-232SBA Models, gives your sound amazing depth by adding Reverb, Chorus or Delay effects while you’re just sitting around playing acoustically (NOT plugged into any amplification device), and also provides those effects combined with a piezo undersaddle pickup system and onboard condenser microphone with level control when plugged into an amp, DI or mixing console. It also features an onboard tuner for quick adjustments on the fly, and mutes the output jack when in use so you don’t annoy your audience with “the tuning song”.

This revolutionary combination of elements makes the GA2-232A perhaps the absolute best acoustic and acoustic/electric value in the industry.
