With solid A+ torrefied Sitka Spruce top and Mahogany back &sides, the F1 Dreadnought is a truly inspiring tool for every performer and songwriter. Each top is custom tapered and individually hand tap tuned" (*) to provide the perfect frequency response and tonal balance. Featuring the precision of construction for which Kepma is renowned, the F1 is a "no compromise" and amazingly playable guitar that offers high-end features and acoustic tone you never dreamed possible in such an affordable instrument. But wait, there's more! Another highlighting feature - besides the premium built and sound - 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 every 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! But wait, there's even more! Paired with the DOUBLE S1-PRO pickup, preamp and FX system, the acoustic-electric F1E Dreadnought model is unmatched: when playing acoustically (meaning not plugged into an amplifier or mixer), you get stunning Reverb, Chorus or Delay right from the guitar, no effects pedals necessary! When you plug into an amp or mixer, the S1-PRO provides you with an undersaddle piezo pickup PLUS an onboard condenser microphone with a blend control. You still have the effects available as well, so you can take total control of your sound right from the guitar preamp control center. It's truly the best of both worlds, all for an amazingly affordable price. Comes standard with a deluxe nylon padded bag. (*) 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.
