FROM GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE APRIL 2025:

KAPA Guitars were made and designed by Koob Veneman, a second-generation luthier from Holland who was the owner of Veneman's Music Emporium, a musical instrument store in Silver Spring, Maryland. The company name was actually an acronym made from the names of his family: Koob; his son, Albert; his daughter, Patricia; and his wife, Adeline.

Veneman took what was, for its time, a novel approach to his builds. He made his guitar bodies in the back of his music store at first, largely by copying the familiar body shapes of Fender, Gibson and Vox models. The necks and electronics were purchased from a range of makers, including Italy’s Eko, England’s Vox, Germany’s Höfner and Japan’s Teisco.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings.  Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so.  We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument.  Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing. 

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear.  If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have.  Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
