Very first model ever produced by Kepma, the G1 Dreadnought is the backbone of the Solid Top Series. Also available as a Grand Auditorium with cutaway, they feature a Solid North American AA+ Sitka Spruce top that has been custom tapered and individually hand tap tuned" (*) to provide the perfect frequency response and tonal balance, plus a precision-formed Indian Rosewood back and sides that adds in that sparkle top-end and low-end thump and clarity sought after by the world's most demanding players. Once it passes the final hand inspection test, the guitar is vibration "aged" for over 300 hours to ensure that it sounds and plays the best. In fact, the favored balance, resonance and tonal range of vintage guitars come from hundreds of hours of actual playing time. Kepma's custom designed simulators vibrate the instrument at a prescribed range of frequencies to bring out the tone of the guitars natural wood. Another highlighting feature - besides all of the above - is the use of the PLEK PRO state-of-the art technology. Latest innovation in guitar manufacturing, PLEK is an entire process that helps achieve the optimum playability of each instrument: with the help of a computerized machine which scans the whole fretboard (all the work performed on an instrument is done under simulated string tension to reproduce exact playing conditions), it files and cuts the frets accordingly, resulting in precise intonation and buzz free playing right out of the box! The Solid Top Series G1 guitars give you a very balanced rich warmth, sparkle and punch with an insane amount of projection and dynamic loudness that responds to your attack. Whether playing emotive soft passages or full on acoustic aggressive mayhem, the Kepma G1 Dreadnought and G1 Grand Auditorium deliver! The acoustic-electric G1E Dreadnought and G1E Grand Auditorium models are equipped with the LR Baggs Anthem Stage Pro Preamp, which received the Player's Choice Award by Acoustic Guitar magazine. Come standard with a TKL Custom Deluxe ABS case. (*) Hand "Tap" Tuning Each top is hand "tap" tuned to measure the overall balance and frequency response of the top. If the frequency profile is not precisely "matched" to the desired profile, then the top is put back into the tapering CNC for additional refinement until the response perfectly matches the desired response profile of the instrument.

Calienta de manera uniforme
Color: Lavender, Size: 15"x15" 8 in 1
Estoy muy satisfecha con esta máquina de calor. Calienta de manera uniforme y mantiene bien la temperatura, lo que ayuda a que los diseños queden con buen acabado. Ha sido fácil de usar incluso para alguien que está comenzando en el mundo de la sublimación y personalización. La he usado para diferentes proyectos y los resultados han sido muy buenos. También me gustó que es resistente y no ocupa demasiado espacio. La recomiendo para personas que quieren iniciar un emprendimiento o ampliar sus trabajos personalizados.

Slow support
Color: Green, Size: 15"x15" 8 in 1
Seems to work ok. It is lighter than expected which is a plus. Support is very slow from company and did not come with instructions. You have to email them for a pdf copy.

Temp Sucks
Color: Black, Size: 12"x15" 5 in 1, Color: Black, Size: 12"x15" 5 in 1
I got the 8in 1 inset wad of the 5 in 1 that I had originally ordered. The seller contacted me about because it was the holidays they decided to send me the 8 in 1. I never had any trouble with the mug press before. My temp was 365 for 60 seconds and the burning never happened before. Then I put my cup in and my press started to smoke. The sublimation paper started turning brown and smelling bad. So I turned the temp and time down to 345 for 30 seconds. But when it was time to press it, the temperature went over 500 and started rising. So I turned it off and turned it back on but it did the same thing. I don’t know what to do. I can’t get a refund or even return it. This mug press sucks. Don’t waste your time!!!
%%Update%%
I can’t do this anymore. This was the replacement they sent me and it already burned my tumbler. I only used 330 for for 30 seconds and after the first turn the paper was brown. Then it started smoking. I can’t keep wasting tumblers on the mug press. My room smells like smoke. This never happened before. I used 6 tumblers in this machine before it started smoking. I’m going to buy another tumbler press. Not from here.
&&Update&&
They sent me an entirely new machine with attachments. I think the problem was the control box but now I have doubles of everything
