Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The AEG800CE is a right-handed Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric with a cutaway, a solid AA Sitka spruce top, and flamed maple back and sides. Its mahogany neck has a 50/50 semi-gloss finish, paired with an East Indian rosewood fingerboard for chord work and lead playing. Onboard SYS250 electronics with EQ provide direct control when the guitar is used live or for recording. The Shadowburst gloss finish, bone nut and saddle, and bi-level rosewood bridge complete the build.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live or recording setups where onboard EQ provides direct tone adjustment from the guitar.
- Players moving between chord passages and lead work on a cutaway Grand Auditorium body.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this is a right-handed guitar.
- Buyers expecting a case or gig bag with the guitar; it is sold separately.
