The Korena take

A Vintage Sunburst, right-handed Pre-War SJ-200 Rosewood acoustic with a Thermally Aged red spruce top, rosewood back and sides, and ebony fingerboard. The listed build includes traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing with hide glue, a 25.5-inch scale, 20 frets, bone nut and saddle, and a SJ-200 Four Bar Moustache bridge. Bound fingerboard details, crown inlays, Grover Imperials, and a thin VOS nitrocellulose finish place the focus on the model’s pre-war-inspired presentation.
