Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed as a right-handed cutaway acoustic-electric, the BR-73CE pairs a select solid Sitka spruce top with Santos rosewood back and sides. Its scalloped forward X-bracing is described as contributing resonance and sustain, while the overall voice is presented as warm, clear, balanced, and projecting. The cutaway provides upper-fret access for solos and melodic passages. An L.R. Baggs E.A.S. pickup system and onboard tuner support amplified use, with separate volume controls for the microphone and bridge pickup described in the electronics. It includes a ProTour BV-1510 gig bag.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Amplified playing that uses separate microphone and bridge-pickup volume controls.
- Upper-fret melodies and complex solos enabled by the cutaway.
- Practice or performance where the onboard tuner provides tuning and mute functions.
