Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A USA-made, 150-piece limited-edition 814ce pairing Sitka spruce and Indian rosewood with Scalloped V-Class bracing, an Action Control neck and Claria electronics.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players seeking a balanced Grand Auditorium response across fingerstyle, strumming and flatpicking.
- Performers who want a Venetian cutaway, onboard Claria electronics and soundhole-mounted controls.
- Players who value the fast string-height adjustment offered by the Action Control system.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this model is specified as right-handed.
- Players who do not want a cutaway body.
- Buyers looking for a standard-production instrument rather than a 150-unit limited edition.
