Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric for players who need direct control when moving from acoustic playing to an amplified setup. The shallow body and Venetian cutaway make the upper fret area readily accessible. Fishman Presys electronics pair an undersaddle piezo pickup with a built-in tuner and 3-band EQ, so tuning and EQ changes happen on the guitar. Quilted ash burl is used across the top, back and sides, while the mahogany neck carries a rosewood fingerboard. This edition is finished in Midnight Black Edge Burst.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage or rehearsal setups requiring onboard tuning and three-band EQ control.
- Players who value access to higher frets on an acoustic-electric guitar.
- Connecting an undersaddle-piezo acoustic-electric directly to an amplified setup.
