The Korena take
A Grand Auditorium Catch Custom with a torrefied Sitka spruce top, katalox back and sides, and a Venetian cutaway. Its described voice combines warmth and responsiveness with defined mids, shimmering highs and a versatile range suited to fingerpicking or full strumming. Taylor’s V-Class bracing is designed to support sustain and intonation. Plug in through the ES2/TaylorSense electronics, then use the onboard volume, bass, treble and phase controls to shape the amplified signal for stage or recording work.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fingerpicking or fuller strumming on the same Grand Auditorium platform.
