Maryland's Kapa guitars were active from 1962-1970 but are largely forgotten today, which is a shame because they would appear to be good solid reliable instruments. Certainly from the reports I've heard, they sound really good too.
Although I say they are one of "America's greatest forgotten guitar makers", the Höfner-made necks were imported in from Germany.
To my eyes this Kapa Continental 6-string from 1965, leaning nonchalantly against an unsuspecting Harley Davidson, is quite a desirable instrument and appears to be in excellent condition for its age. The Jazzmaster/jaguar-like tremolo makes me think this guitar would perform surf music quite nicely.
Currently listed on eBay with a Buy It Now price of $795.

- Kapa Continental (usa) In Raleigh Nc For $380
Strange, unique, quirky guitars like the Kapa Continental are right at home in local Indie alternative art-rock bands. Super thin necks on these are great for small hands and female guitarist singer songwriters. Just don't expect to be using the Tremolo...
- Kapa Continental In Naples Florida For $500
Okay - $500 is not a great price for a Kapa Continental - it's probably even a little above market value - but I wanted to post this because these are great little guitars and don't turn up much (I am still on the hunt for a green one). The...
