Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The CEO-11 combines a 0000 Grand Auditorium body with acoustic-electric capability in a limited run of 1,111 instruments worldwide. A European spruce top and white oak back and sides are joined by forward-shifted, GE-scalloped Sitka spruce X-bracing for a powerful yet nuanced response. Fishman Aura VT Blend electronics bring its acoustic voice into an amplified setup. The flamed maple GE Modified Low Oval neck, High-Performance taper and ebony fingerboard are arranged for fluid changes between chords and fingerstyle work, while the New Horizons Blue Burst top makes it immediately recognizable.
