Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built in the smaller requinto format, the RQ39E has a shorter scale than a classical guitar and a notably deeper body. A solid cedar top joins sapele back and sides, with an okoume neck and walnut fingerboard and bridge. The Ortega MagusGo preamp and undersaddle piezo pickup give it an onboard amplified option. It is aimed at trío romántico and traditional folk settings, while its stronger acoustic output also suits acoustic performances without amplification.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Trío romántico groups and traditional folk arrangements that call for a requinto guitar.
  • Acoustic performances without amplification where greater output than a traditional small-body guitar is useful.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players looking for a full-size classical-guitar format rather than a smaller requinto.
  • Players who need more than the RQ39E’s 19 frets.
