Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
This limited Catch Custom Grand Auditorium brings together an Adirondack spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides. The combination is described as lush and articulate, with warmth, depth, complex overtones and room for dynamic playing. V-Class bracing supports projection, sustain and harmonic clarity. A Florentine cutaway opens up the upper frets, while the beveled Indian rosewood armrest is part of its playing-focused design. The LR Baggs Element VTC provides onboard amplification with active volume and tone control for live or studio use.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Dynamic fingerpicking and strumming where the described high volume ceiling is useful.
- Live performance or recording with LR Baggs Element VTC amplification.
