Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The left-handed Next Generation 814ce brings a solid Sitka spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, and a Grand Auditorium body to an acoustic-electric format. Its scalloped V-Class bracing is intended to add sustain, projection and pitch accuracy. For amplified sessions, Claria electronics use a behind-the-saddle pickup with soundhole-mounted controls. The Action Control neck allows string-height adjustments with the strings in place, and the rosewood radius armrest is one of this model’s distinct physical appointments. A hardshell case is included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Left-handed players taking detailed fingerstyle or fuller strumming parts from rehearsal to amplified performance.
- Direct recording or live amplification where Claria controls, including EQ and Mid-Contour, are needed.
- Players who value the ability to make string-height adjustments while the guitar remains strung.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Right-handed players, because the guitar is configured left-handed.
