Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Masterbilt Excellente brings a square-shoulder dreadnought acoustic-electric design together with a cutaway, solid Sitka spruce top, and solid ovangkol back and sides. Its Fishman Sonicore piezo pickup and Sonitone preamp provide onboard volume and tone control for recording or performance. Ebony is used for both the fingerboard and bridge, while a maple neck with walnut-and-maple center stripe, bone nut and saddle, cloud inlays, and gold Kluson vintage tuners give the instrument its detailed visual character.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Singer-songwriters who want onboard volume and tone control for recording or performance.
- Players using higher frets for solos or more involved chord work through the cutaway body.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
