Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a dreadnought body, this Custom Shop 28 Style pairs a spruce top with cocobolo back and sides for the powerful low end and clear high notes described here. Golden Era scalloped, forward-shifted X bracing supports a responsive top, while the modified low oval mahogany neck uses a satin finish. Its 1935 sunburst gloss, Style 28 inlays, faux-tortoise pickguard, and maple binding give it a deliberately detailed visual identity. A hardshell case is provided for transport and storage.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live performance or studio work where strong projection and detailed acoustic response matter.
- Players moving between harder strumming, softer picking, and alternate tunings.
