Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for left-handed players, the 000-17E places a solid spruce top over mahogany back and sides in a 000 non-cutaway body. The Modified Low Oval neck with Performing Artist taper is described as easy to play, and the satin Black Smoke finish frames its rosewood fingerboard and bridge. Fishman Matrix VT Enhance electronics, paired with a soundhole-mounted preamp, allow the guitar to join an amplified acoustic setup. It comes with a softshell case.
