Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a square-shoulder dreadnought body, the Songwriter Recording Artist combines a thermally aged Sitka spruce top with rosewood back and sides. Its 25.5-inch scale and scalloped Advanced X-bracing are paired with a round mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard. For amplified work, the LR Baggs HiFi system uses dual bridge plate sensors, with volume and tone controls placed at the soundhole. A hardshell case is included for transport and storage.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage sets that need onboard volume and tone adjustment from the soundhole.

- Players seeking a right-handed square-shoulder dreadnought with a 25.5-inch scale.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
