Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A slim auditorium acoustic-electric that brings electric-oriented dimensions into an acoustic format. The Comfort Grip nyatoh neck, 25-inch scale, 1.7-inch nut, and 15.75-inch fingerboard radius are specified for comfortable movement through chords, runs, and lead playing. Its quilted maple art grain top joins sapele back and sides for a balanced voice with clear attack, focused midrange, and bright highs. The undersaddle pickup, AEQ-2T preamp, onboard tuner, and three control knobs keep amplified setup direct.
