Keipro Guitars Modern

Introduction

The Keipro Modern is a versatile contemporary electric guitar designed around the balance between comfortable playability and an expressive tonal response.

Its three-piece alder body provides a vibrant yet grounded acoustic foundation with clear resonance and natural sustain. A roasted maple neck improves stability and articulation, while the slim C-shaped profile and rosewood fingerboard create a smooth, comfortable playing experience.

The guitar’s S.S.H pickup configuration combines two vintage-inspired YHL Mercury single coils with a Marsbucker bridge humbucker, allowing it to move from articulate clean sounds to focused modern high-gain tones.

Roasted Maple Neck

The roasted maple neck is heat-treated to improve its stability and tonal characteristics.

The roasting process removes excess moisture from the wood, making the neck less susceptible to:

• Warping

• Temperature changes

• Environmental instability

According to Keipro, the roasting process can also contribute to a more complex and articulate response with improved sustain and clarity.

Handcrafted Tone

The Keipro Modern uses a versatile YHL S.S.H pickup system with Alnico 5 magnets.

The neck and middle Mercury pickups deliver vintage-inspired single-coil sounds, while the bridge Marsbucker adds greater output, stronger midrange focus and improved clarity under gain.

The complete pickup set is designed for a tight, sensitive response and a nuanced, three-dimensional tonal character.

Pickup Configuration

Neck Pickup

• Position: Neck

• Pickup type: Single coil

• Magnet: Alnico 5

• DC resistance: 6.2K

• Character: Articulate, full and dynamically responsive

The neck pickup produces an articulate high-frequency response, full midrange and flexible low frequencies. It is suitable for clean sounds, expressive lead tones and lightly overdriven playing.

Middle Pickup

YHL Mercury S2-60-M

• Position: Middle

• Pickup type: Single coil

• Magnet: Alnico 5

• DC resistance: 6.2K

• Winding technology: FSSW

The result is a bridge pickup that supports modern high-gain performance while retaining a warm, vintage-inspired character.
