Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The Touring Honeycomb Top with black hardware is a 3/4-size carbon-fiber acoustic-electric designed around a compact, 4.15 lb. format. The carbon-fiber body and neck pair with aramid bracing, an offset soundhole, and a cantilevered neck—features intended to support resonance and sustain. For amplified work, it carries an L.R. Baggs Element active pickup and discrete Class-A endpin preamp. The Honeycomb Top sets this version apart visually, while the custom-fit SKB Deluxe hard case included with the guitar supports storage and transport.
