Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a Grand Auditorium cutaway body, the Gold A8 combines a torrefied solid Sitka spruce top with solid pau ferro back and sides. Its Fishman Flex Blend system brings volume, tone and pickup-blend control to amplified use, while the onboard tuner keeps tuning within reach. The walnut-reinforced mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard and hand-rolled fret edges focus the playing experience on a stable, smooth feel. A Venetian cutaway gives access to the upper frets, and an Exclusive Deluxe Soft-Side Case is part of the package.

- Players who need an acoustic-electric with onboard volume, tone, blend control and a built-in tuner.
