Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Right-handed nylon-string players get a Grand Concert acoustic-electric built with a solid torrefied spruce top, layered walnut back and sides, and a beveled walnut armrest. The Hard Rock maple neck carries a Genuine West African ebony fingerboard with 17 frets. Its ES-B electronics use a behind-the-saddle transducer with adjustable sensors, while onboard volume, tone, and a digital chromatic LED tuner keep amplification and tuning close at hand. A soft gig bag comes with the guitar for transport and storage.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Nylon-string players who need a right-handed Grand Concert with onboard amplification and tuning.
- Practice or performance setups where volume and tone need adjustment directly from the guitar.
- Carrying the instrument to lessons or sessions with the included soft gig bag.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players, because this is a right-handed model.
