Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around the ES-345 semi-hollow format, the Marcus King model combines a maple/poplar/maple body, Adirondack spruce bracing, and a solid maple center block. Its two Custombuckers cover the neck and bridge positions, with separate volume and tone controls for each pickup. The fixed Vibrola and ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge keep the vintage-inspired hardware layout in place, while the rounded mahogany neck and 22-fret rosewood fingerboard provide the playing surface.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage or studio players wanting separate volume and tone control for each of two humbuckers.
- Players who want semi-hollow construction with a solid maple center block for higher-gain performance.
