Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The BR-40TCE is a four-string tenor acoustic-electric with a cutaway for access to the upper frets. Its solid Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and scalloped bracing shape an articulate, balanced acoustic response with warmth and projection. A slim D-profile mahogany neck, adjustable truss rod, and East Indian rosewood fingerboard support a familiar playing feel. The L.R. Baggs E.A.S. pickup connects through a standard endpin jack when an amplified signal is needed.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Moving from acoustic playing to an amplified setup through the built-in endpin output.
- Playing higher-fret chords and melodies made accessible by the tenor cutaway.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking an unamplified-only instrument without onboard pickup electronics.
- Players who need a six-string guitar; this is a four-string tenor model.
