Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For a compact carbon-fiber acoustic-electric with black hardware, this Touring Standard Top keeps the essentials focused on portability and onboard amplification. The 3/4-size body and 4.15 lb. weight make it an easy model to plan around for travel, and the included custom-fit SKB Deluxe hard case is ready for transport. Its offset soundhole, aramid bracing, and cantilevered neck form the resonance-and-sustain design. When plugged in, the L.R. Baggs Element active pickup and discrete Class-A endpin preamp provide the guitar's amplified output.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Taking a lighter 3/4-size guitar to travel, rehearsals, and recording sessions.
- Fingerstyle passages and strummed parts on a model described for both approaches.
- Using an onboard active pickup for stage or studio amplification.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want a full-size instrument rather than a 3/4-size Touring model.
