Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
In Indigo Blue Metallic Flat, the FRH10N brings nylon strings to an ultrathin modified hollow FRH body. The 1-15/16-inch body uses a solid Sitka spruce top, sapele back and sides, and fan bracing for its acoustic platform. Its set-in nyatoh C neck carries 22 frets on a walnut fingerboard, with a 400 mm radius and 46 mm bone nut. A player-facing side soundport changes where the acoustic output is heard by the guitarist, and the T-bar pickup/AHA-1 preamp adds direct amplified operation with a mute switch.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players shifting between nylon-string acoustic parts and amplified stage or recording work.
- Guitarists who value a thin body, C-shaped neck, and 22-fret playing range.
- Performance setups where muting the guitar's output from the onboard preamp is useful.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players looking for a traditional full-depth classical body; the FRH body is specified at 1-15/16 inches thick.
