The Kapa CH-6 Challenger Hollow Body is a relatively rare, vintage 1960s electric instrument. While the vast majority of Kapa Challenger models were Fender-style solid body guitars, founder Koob Veneman built a very limited run of fully hollow and semi-hollow body guitars and basses under the Challenger name. These were assembled in Hyattsville, Maryland, utilizing a mix of American parts and German-imported components.
