[@clintpotts8983]

I think that Kepma being discussed in the same category as Taylor is already impressive. I just purchased their "entry-level" model for $329 US and compared the Kepma against all of the acoustics in the price range. I looked at Yamaha, Fender, Epiphone, and others. The staff at the music store all said I should go with the Kepma. I'm very happy with my selection and all of my friends I've let play it have been impressed. I'd never heard of them, but I think that isn't going to continue. The guitars are the real deal.

[@VaibhavChadha]

Kepma for less than half the price of Taylor makes a huge case for itself.

[@sahiljagtiani]

Absolutely, especially with the LR Baggs option for the preamp is truly a Taylor killer. The price definitely makes a huge difference.

[@SSJProductions]

True but tonally the Taylor was a class apart and please subscribe to our channel KZbin.com/guiitargeargyan for all the latest videos.

[@pogalatssanty1154]

The Kepma was not that bad at all. Frankly I preferred the tonal options for it and think the Taylor is over-priced and overrated. Still appreciate the way in which you guys approached the comparison.

Detailed comparison with Taylor, would be very interested in checking out Kepma!

[@sahiljagtiani]

Get the one with the LR Baggs preamp. Really worth your while.

[@SSJProductions]

Its a great guitar for the price and please subscribe to our channel KZbin.com/guiitargeargyan for all the latest videos.

[@KrishnaKalyan]

My fav... Taylor. sounds really good, especially the base notes.

[@sahiljagtiani]

Surprisingly the ES2 system was very warm but just heard the Kepma G1E with the LR Baggs preamp and it just sounds killer.

[@SSJProductions]

Yes it was great.

[@rummyneojan9399]

For me I feel the sound of the Kepma preamp setting blew away the Taylor and the guitar also looks better. However the blend option was not up to the mark like you guys said. Keep these videos coming. Love the banter.

[@sahiljagtiani]

Hey thanks for stating your opinion. Many would feel the same but our opinion was what we heard in the room and yes the Kepma did also sound amazing so its upto each person's personal preference.

[@rummyneojan9399]

@@sahiljagtiani will check one out at my nearest guitar store

[@SSJProductions]

Glad you liked and yes each one will have their own preference but its what you are actually looking for tonally that matters most.

[@vanderbiltklaus587]

You guys should also have done an acoustic comparison just to showcase the tonewood

[@SSJProductions]

Good point but honestly most of us would use the guitar plugged in for gigs and please subscribe to our channel KZbin.com/guiitargeargyan for all the latest videos.

[@mjt11860]

@@SSJProductions possibly, but for recording & getting the best sound, acoustic is the way to go.

[@doctorwithaguitar4895]

Can you please do a comparison video between Kepma B1E GA and Taylor 414 CE? I am planning to buy Kepma B1E GA

[@amitavasengupta5745]

Guys plz tell me one important thing , what about the durability of kepma in front of Taylor in long term.

[@jmguzman9633]

I love the 314ce and think Taylor kicks every guitar out of the ballpark including Martin, so the Chinese still have a one way to go to still!

[@Tigerex966]

yamaha

[@SSJProductions]

Tonally the Taylor was truly excellent but with a better pickup am sure the Kepma would have been a solid contender and please subscribe to our channel KZbin.com/guiitargeargyan for all the latest videos.

mother of pearl.... piece of art.... stop drooling guys... its clear you like the kepma more than the taylor

Yeah no. 😂 It's hard to let go of a traditional favourite.

[@SSJProductions]

can you please review the Kepma B1OM or the Kepma B1OMe

[@KritikaSengupta]

What is the price of Kepma ES36 Please can you do a full review of Kepma ES36? I want to buy a mini/travel guitar. 36 inches.

[@SSJProductions]

Already did a review of that and glad you bought it. Be sure to checkout our latest videos on KZbin.com/guitargeargyan.

[@guitarpoetone1]

Kepma sounded beautiful they both sound nice but I would buy kepma

[@SSJProductions]

Saves on the bank balance but we also hope to one day review the A1E which has solid rosewood back and sides. Make sure you subscribe to KZbin.com/guitargeargyan for all our latest videos. That should give Taylor a run for their money.

[@abhijeetsingh9623]

Really nice and insightful

[@SSJProductions]

Glad it was helpful!

[@loganb6361]

Martin 000X2AE or Martin Dx2E? I am planning for an upgrade from my fender cd140sce!

[@SSJProductions]

One is a Dreadnought and the other an Auditorium so its only the shape that is the difference. Both have Koa laminated back and sides with a Sitka Spruce Top (Nowhere does it say if its a solid top or not for both) so its really a personal choice on shape. Since its Martin am sure it would be a solid top at that price range. Still check it properly before buying.

[@ayushpratap4726]

Is it solid rosewood back and sides ? Or laminated rosewood back and sides?

Holy cow that Kepma is only 70,000 rupees, like a 1000 bucks stateside.... not bad at all, half the price of a Taylor with better wood

[@Sartaj_1]

Grt, But Why is the Taylor so expensive...I think both r at par

[@sahiljagtiani]

With the LR Baggs the Kepma actually sounds better than the Taylor but for this shootout I got the one with the Fishman Matrix Blend Preamp.

[@SSJProductions]

The brand Taylor has a heritage and so a higher cost but truly the Kepma does shine as well.

[@mjt11860]

here's what i think, u blew it by not playing both instruments un-amplified. personally, to me the taylor amplified sounds better.

You guys should simply make advertisements for Kepma.. would really ease your cause.. All your videos are just kepma promotional videos eventually

[@SSJProductions]

Kepma does not pay us nor do we endorse them. We always do our best to point out their flaws and even in one episode we clearly stated how the pickup just was not up to the standard we expect from them. Check it out on kzbin.info. Kepma did not beat Yamaha or Taylor in the shootouts so how is that promoting Kepma?
