Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around bearclaw Sitka spruce and tiger myrtle, this Grand Auditorium pairs a bold, clear acoustic voice with a responsive range for gentle fingerpicking and stronger strumming. V-Class bracing is designed to add volume, sustain and more consistent intonation across the fretboard. For amplified work, the ES2 system uses a behind-the-saddle transducer, active EQ and phase switch, while TaylorSense monitors humidity, temperature and other conditions. Only 25 exist worldwide.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Moving between fingerpicked passages and expressive strumming on one Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric.
- Stage, studio and home playing where onboard volume, bass and treble adjustment is useful.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
