Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

For players wanting the Carbon Series Sable platform in its camo-top, black-hardware version, this USA-made full-size acoustic-electric keeps the same carbon-fiber body, neck, and soundboard construction. Its aramid-braced soundboard works alongside an offset soundhole and cantilevered neck. The guitar weighs 5.45 pounds and has a 4-inch body depth. An LR Baggs Element Active undersaddle pickup and discrete Class-A endpin preamp, custom-voiced for carbon fiber, handle amplified use. The one-piece C-profile carbon-fiber neck carries 20 gold frets, and a custom-fit SKB Deluxe hard case is included.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Travel and outdoor performance where the carbon-fiber construction’s resistance to humidity and temperature changes is relevant.
  • Studio or stage use through the Element Active pickup and carbon-fiber-voiced Class-A endpin preamp.
  • Fingerpicking or strumming, both named applications for the aramid-braced Sable.
