Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The E1CS combines a torrefied solid spruce top with rosewood back and sides in a Grand Concert cutaway acoustic-electric design. Its Fishman ISY-201 pickup and preamp provide amplified use, while rotary controls and an onboard tuner keep adjustment on the instrument. Luminescent ABS binding and fingerboard inlays absorb light and glow in darkness, making this a distinctive choice for a dimly lit stage. The cutaway also gives access to higher frets, and a Merida GB-15 gig bag is included.

Who this is for
- Dimly lit stage settings where the guitar’s light-absorbing, glowing inlays are visible.
