Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The right-handed 000-18 Standard is a 000-14 Fret acoustic built around a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides. Its 24.9-inch scale, GE Modified Low Oval neck, and High Performance Taper shape the playing feel, with a 1-3/4-inch nut width and ebony fingerboard. GE-scalloped X-bracing is specified, alongside a bone nut and compensated bone saddle. There are no onboard electronics, and a hardshell case is included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Singer-songwriters and acoustic soloists using a right-handed 000-size guitar.
- Chord work and single-note passages on a short-scale neck with a 1-3/4-inch nut.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players requiring an acoustic-electric instrument, as no electronics are fitted.
- Players who need a left-handed guitar.
