Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The Ebony J-45 Express is a compact 7/8-size acoustic for players who want a smaller instrument for learning or travel. Its 22.68-inch scale works with a C-profile mahogany neck and 12-inch-radius laurel fingerboard to make the guitar easier to handle. The layered spruce top and layered mahogany body are paired for a warm, balanced sound with clear projection. A passive piezo under-saddle pickup provides the onboard pickup configuration, and the included gig bag makes it ready to carry.
