Sound Pure's Take
It is with great pride and excitement that we announce a first for us as well as the masterful Kevin Kopp--behold, the RJ! As the first of its kind, Kevin is calling this one the prototype of what we think will become another classic model for him. You may notice it bears a striking resemblance to a certain smallbody guitar pictured in the hands of Robert Johnson himself. Kopp's take on that classic instrument couldn't be a more bonafide blues machine. You'll be playing the blues with absolute authority (and comfort!) with this little monster--punchy, dry, and direct with -just- enough harmonic complexity from that cured Engelmann top to bring some richness to the tonal table. Hats off, Kevin--you killed this one!

From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)
After ten years of working in the Custom Shop, Kevin felt it was time to move on and explore the world of self employment in addition to expanding his repair shop at home and his skills. He became an authorized repairman for all of the “Biggies”, but his business started evolving into repairs & restoration of high end vintage instruments belonging to customers all over the North American continent and Japan.
Seeing dozens of vintage instruments literally from the inside out, Kevin started melding some of his own ideas and experiences with the tried and true construction techniques that he saw in the guitars, banjos and mandolins he was repairing. Starting his own line of high end guitars was the natural outcome, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Players instantly hear the rich tone and response in every one of Kevin’s guitars. Internationally known guitar artist Leo Kottke owns and regularly plays two Kopp guitars.
We’re all on a journey of our own and hopefully our paths cross, if only briefly. Kevin’s journey of exploration and constant pursuit of quality and tone continues every day and who knows — maybe your own pursuit of quality and tone has led you here, to this intersection.
