Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Custom Shop 28 Style All Highly Flamed Koa Concert is built around a 0 concert body, with highly flamed koa used for the top, back, sides, and headplate. It is described as bright and focused, with a strong midrange, clear articulation, and a quick response that brings solo lines and soft passages forward. The 24.9-inch scale, modified low oval neck, ebony fingerboard, and 14-fret neck joint support extended fingerstyle sessions and precise melodic work. Gloss finish and antique white binding showcase the koa’s figure.
Strong match

- Extended fingerstyle sessions and precise melodic work on a compact concert-body acoustic.
- Small-venue or recording work needing clear articulation and an even response.
Consider the trade-offs
