Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bats in Flight is a square-shoulder dreadnought acoustic with an Ebony finish and a deliberately detailed visual treatment: engraved mother-of-pearl bat work appears on the fingerboard, bridge, and black Dove-style pickguard. Sitka spruce pairs with maple back and sides, while hand-scalloped X-bracing supports the guitar’s clear, focused response. The 25.5-inch maple neck and ebony fingerboard suit detailed fingerstyle lines, flat-picked melody work, and forceful strumming. It ships with a Gibson hardshell case for storage or transport.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording or live acoustic parts where clear note separation, quick attack, and controlled low end matter.
- Fingerstyle arrangements, melodic flat-picking, and dynamic strumming on a square-shoulder dreadnought.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who require an onboard pickup or preamp; this version lists neither.
