Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built around a 12-fret parlor body, the Roots Parlor places a solid Sitka spruce top over Honduran mahogany back and sides. The combination is described as warm and focused, with articulate lows, growling midrange, and projection that reaches beyond the compact body. Its Slim C mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard support fingerstyle phrasing and open-position chords. LR Baggs HiFi electronics provide an amplified path for live work, recording, and rehearsal, and the pinless ebony bridge is designed for quicker string changes.
