Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

This pre-war-styled SJ-200 acoustic-electric uses a thermally aged solid spruce top, solid rosewood back and sides, and traditional scalloped X-bracing made with quarter-sawn solid spruce. Its right-handed, six-string layout includes a 25.5-inch Round D-profile maple neck with a rosewood stringer and a 20-fret ebony fingerboard. The factory-installed LR Baggs Element Bronze VTC system keeps amplified volume and tone controls inside the soundhole. Gold Grover Imperial tuners, an ebony moustache bridge, and crown inlays complete the visual package; a hardshell case is included.
