Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Korena’s take: this Custom Shop 28 Style dreadnought joins a forward-shifted, Adirondack-spruce X-braced top with East Indian rosewood back and sides for bold projection, crisp articulation, warmth, and sustain. The onboard L.R. Baggs Anthem system blends a microphone with an undersaddle pickup, so the guitar moves from unplugged playing to amplified stage or studio setups. A satin Modified Low Oval neck, ebony fingerboard, bone nut and saddle, and Grover nickel tuners round out a practical, performance-oriented build. It arrives with a molded hardshell case.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live performance needing onboard amplification alongside the guitar’s acoustic voice.
- Studio or rehearsal work that moves between softer passages and louder dynamic playing.
