Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a selected spruce top and a mid-depth Lyrachord cutaway body, the AB24 is an acoustic-electric designed to move between unplugged playing and amplified use. The cutaway leaves higher frets accessible for melody work, while the onboard CE304T preamp puts three-band EQ, reverb, phase control and tuning at the guitar. Its rounded body is described as lightweight, and the satin black finish gives the instrument a restrained stage-ready look.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Practice and performance setups where onboard tuning and quick EQ adjustments keep the workflow self-contained.
- Chord accompaniment and fingerpicked melodies, with the cutaway available for work higher on the neck.
- Amplified playing at higher volume where the phase switch can be used to address feedback.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this model is listed as right handed.
