Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The BR-163CE is a right-handed, six-string acoustic-electric with a smaller cutaway body. It pairs a solid Sitka spruce top with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, plus scalloped bracing. For amplified use, its L.R. Baggs E.A.S. pickup system provides volume, treble, and midrange controls for adjusting the plugged-in signal. The mahogany neck and East Indian rosewood fingerboard are joined by a 1.6875-inch bone nut, while herringbone marquetry and a tortoise-style pickguard complete the vintage-toned high-gloss look.
Strong match
