Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The right-handed BR-43CE brings acoustic-electric operation to a cutaway 000 14-fret body. A solid Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and parabolic forward X-bracing provide crisp articulation with warm resonance. The slim mahogany neck and East Indian rosewood fingerboard support both chord strumming and fingerpicked lines, while the cutaway gives access to upper frets for melodic work. Its L.R. Baggs E.A.S. pickup system and onboard tuner make it ready to connect with a live or recording setup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live performance or recording setups that need an acoustic-electric guitar with an onboard pickup system.
- Melodic passages and solos that benefit from the cutaway's upper-fret access.
- Moving between strummed chords and fingerpicked melodies on a 000 14-fret instrument.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players.
- Players who do not want a cutaway body.
