Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The LP70e brings the Laureate acoustic-electric format to a compact parlor body with a cutaway. Its thinner, hand-sanded solid Sitka spruce top is described as sensitive to touch and dynamics, while East Indian rosewood back and sides add warmth, clear treble, and robust bass. FS6 bracing supports the top's response and sustain. When the performance calls for amplification, the L.R. Baggs HiFi system captures the acoustic voice, with volume and tone controls mounted inside the soundhole.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fingerstyle and songwriting sessions where a responsive parlor body and cutaway suit detailed playing.
- Live performances requiring an acoustic-electric guitar with onboard volume and tone adjustment.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players, as this is a right-handed six-string guitar.
