Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built around an ES-style semi-hollow archtop body, the Uptown Kat ES combines a 5-ply maple/poplar construction with a spruce center block for acoustic projection, sustain, and feedback resistance. Its pair of ProBucker mini humbuckers is described as crisp and transparent, with warm low end and touch sensitivity. A SlimTaper C mahogany neck, 22-fret ebony fingerboard, and 24.72-inch scale give the playing side a defined, traditional layout, finished here in Ruby Red Metallic.
