Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a deeper Grand Pacific body, the Gold Label 917e combines a solid torrefied Sitka-Adirondack spruce top with solid Honduran rosewood back and sides. Its fanned V-Class bracing and hide-glue construction support sustain, resonance, and pitch stability, while the Action Control Neck allows precise string-height adjustment without removing the strings or neck. LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and soundhole controls carry the guitar’s acoustic character into live and studio work. The full-gloss Teardrop Sunburst finish completes a traditionally detailed presentation.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Dynamic strumming and detailed fingerstyle parts that benefit from the deeper Grand Pacific response.
- Stage and studio work using the LR Baggs Element VTC system for amplified acoustic sound.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players, as this is a right-handed guitar.
