Choose the KS Standard-R if you prefer the warm smooth character of rosewood fingerboard with the professional features of the KS Standard series.

What Does KS Standard-R Mean

KS Standard is the professional flagship series in the Keipro range. R stands for Rosewood fingerboard confirming this model features a rosewood fingerboard. SSH confirms the pickup configuration — Single coil at neck, Single coil at middle and Humbucker at bridge.

Premium Build Powerful Tone Timeless Style

The Keipro KS Standard-R embodies the philosophy of Premium Build, Powerful Tone and Timeless Style — delivering a guitar that feels as professional as it sounds, delivers warm inspiring tones through the rosewood fingerboard and Alnico pickups combination and looks timelessly beautiful in any of its 5 stunning colour choices.

Roasted Poplar Body for Rich Tone and Excellent Resonance

The Keipro KS Standard-R features a roasted poplar body delivering rich tone with excellent resonance. The roasted poplar provides warm balanced tone with good sustain and projection for professional tonal performance in any musical context.

YHL Mercury Alnico Pickups — S730 Alnico-N, S730 Alnico-M and HSAD-B

The Keipro KS Standard-R features the YHL Mercury Alnico pickup series — S730 Alnico-N at neck, S730 Alnico-M at middle and HSAD-B humbucker at bridge. The Alnico magnets in the neck and middle pickups deliver warm rich and musical single coil tone with characteristic vintage character that sounds particularly warm and smooth through the rosewood fingerboard. The HSAD-B humbucker at the bridge delivers powerful thick output for rock blues and high gain playing. The combination of Alnico single coils and rosewood fingerboard creates a beautifully warm and musical tonal character that is particularly well suited to blues jazz and classic rock.

Locking Tuners for Maximum Tuning Stability

The locking tuners on the Keipro KS Standard-R deliver maximum tuning stability during performance — eliminating string slippage at the tuner post by locking the string in place. Your guitar stays in tune through aggressive strumming, whammy bar use, temperature changes and extended playing sessions. A professional feature that makes the KS Standard-R the most performance-ready Keipro guitar available.

Split Coil Volume Knob for Maximum Tonal Versatility

The split coil volume knob allows you to instantly split the bridge HSAD-B humbucker into a single coil — giving you access to bright snappy single coil tones from the bridge position. Particularly effective through the rosewood fingerboard which adds warmth and smoothness to the split coil bridge tone for a beautifully musical in-between character.

Roasted Maple Neck for Enhanced Durability and Stability

The roasted maple neck provides enhanced durability and stability across temperature and humidity changes. The warm honey-brown roasted maple appearance creates a beautiful visual contrast with the dark rosewood fingerboard — giving the KS Standard-R a visually refined and premium aesthetic.

Rosewood Fingerboard for Warm Smooth Tone

The rosewood fingerboard delivers warm smooth and rounded tone that perfectly complements the YHL Mercury Alnico pickups — the combination of Alnico warmth and rosewood smoothness creating a particularly musical and expressive tonal character. Rosewood has a naturally warm porous feel underhand that many guitarists prefer for extended playing sessions. The dark rosewood fingerboard creates a beautiful visual contrast with the warm honey-brown roasted maple neck.

C Slim Roasted Maple Neck for Comfortable Effortless Performance

The C slim neck profile delivers a comfortable grip for effortless performance — allowing fast smooth chord transitions and single note runs with minimal hand fatigue during extended playing sessions.
