Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Black, the 1687GT is a right-handed deep acoustic-electric built around a hand-laid Lyrachord body, walnut neck, and walnut fingerboard. Its carbon-fiber and birch-veneer top combines with Quintad Bracing, Adamas Suspended Top technology, and a multi-soundhole design. The guitar’s OCP-1K pickup and OP-Pro Studio preamp with tuner support amplified playing through an amp or PA, with bass, middle, and treble controls available on the preamp. Gold Schaller M6 machine heads and a hardshell case round out the included appointments.
