Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around the SJ-200 body style, this right-handed acoustic-electric combines a thermally aged solid Sitka spruce top with solid figured maple back and sides. Its 25.5-inch, C-profile maple neck and 20-fret Indian rosewood fingerboard provide the playing layout, while the LR Baggs Element Bronze VTC system brings volume and tone adjustment to the soundhole. Ornate details—including the rosewood moustache bridge and graduated crown inlays—give it a distinctly vintage-styled presentation. An Inspired by Gibson Custom hardshell case accompanies the guitar.
