The Kepma K3 D3-130 definitely has WOW factor for the value alone. I received a guitar I was not expecting at the price point. Be warned, if you are buying this for a small child, this guitar does have some heft. It's not heavy, maybe 4-5 pounds, but i wasn't expecting that weight at this price point.The fingerboard is fantastic, it came looking ready and pretty with no need for oils or washing. I did need to do some work on the higher frets as they were fairly sharp. My guess is the neck and fretboard were made with a non-cutaway in mind, because the fret sprouts start at the 14th.I did notice some buzzing at the bridge when i played higher notes on the bass strings. I thought i was going to have to do some work on the saddle, but when i switched out the strings (they felt like 12s, but I can't be certain) to my preferred 10s, the buzzing went away. So be aware you might have to do a little work on the saddle if you want to use 12s.The guitar did have to be tuned, and that did take some doing. Still the tuning machines feel great and once in tune I haven't had to retune since (3 days gone playing at least 90 minutes a day).I'm not a fan of the pickguard, so i did remove that. i used a warm, moist towel and a blow dryer without any issues whatsoever.The sound from this beast is excellent. It captures the low end and midrange really well. I ran the Kepma with a Rio Grande The Bone pickup through a Boss Katana MKII. It sounds AMAZING!!! Again, this is a great guitar for the price. It is far better than many other acoustics with higher price ranges. If you don't mind doing a little work, you could easily make it a forever guitar.

I wasn't expecting much when I decided to buy this in the matte black top. let me tell you this is one of the best acoustics I have EVER played. After initial tune and stretch strings til she stays in tune it hasn't gone out after 6 cover on my youtube channel. The action is super low with no string buzz and the neck is smooth as butter! The biggest thing i noticed is how flat the fret board is, the barre chords just roll off with ease, no kung fun grip needed. I just bought a Taylor A10 and this guitar runs circles around the Taylor and that is saying something because I am a Taylor guy. This should sell for much much more. I can't believe the price for the quality! If you are on the fence don't be because you wont regret this purchase. Hear it in action with a seymour duncan acoustic pick up here https://youtu.be/AmDPJA1rZSQ
