Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A European-made, full-size acoustic-electric classical guitar combining a spruce-and-cedar solid top, extended 24-fret access and onboard SQ-3 stage controls.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Classical players who want amplified control with volume, 3-band EQ, phase reverse and an onboard tuner
- Players seeking upper-register access from a cutaway and asymmetrical ergonomic heel
- Players who value a full-size 4/4 nylon-string guitar with a Spanish heel
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking a non-cutaway classical-guitar design
- Players who do not need onboard electronics or an amplified setup
- Players looking for a left-handed instrument
