Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric construction combines a solid Sitka spruce top with flamed maple back and sides. The maple Comfort Grip neck and Thermo Aged ovangkol fingerboard carry the six-string, right-handed layout. An Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup feeds an AEQ-TP2 preamp with two-band EQ and an onboard tuner. The scalloped ovangkol bridge is designed to improve vibration transfer and provide more flexibility when adjusting action. A.I.R.port routing and X-M bracing are part of its monitoring and response design.
