But, what's with the '+' sign, you ask?
New for 2025, the PLYTONE guitars now incorporate the same precise bolt-on joint technology used for Kepma's top-of-the-range models! Using high-precision CNC machines, the bolted neck process ensures a perfect fit between the neck and the body, providing enhanced strength, consistency and vibration transmission. This precise assembly eliminates common issues like paint buildup at dovetail joints, makes neck replacement easier in case of damage, and ultimately boosts the guitar's overall quality and playability... hence the '+'!

What KEPMA has done is almost unimaginable to other guitar companies: the PLYTONE Series guitars give you incredible sound and playability at a price that's hard to grasp. Once you play an EDC+ Dreadnought or EAC+ Grand Auditorium model, you'll be amazed at the total garbage out there being passed off as "guitars" in this range. The PLYTONE Series may be the entry point into the Kepma Line, but hardly "entry-level" quality. Manufactured with the same techniques and over 90% of the same processes as their high end ALL SOLID Series, the PLYTONE Series models are available in a wide range of colors and options and play like instruments 4x the price.
