Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Purple Burst gives this J-45 Standard its visual identity, while its core build remains a solid Sitka spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, and traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing. The slope-shoulder dreadnought carries a SlimTaper mahogany neck with a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard. For amplified work, the LR Baggs VTC system provides soundhole-mounted volume and tone control. It is a right-handed, six-string acoustic-electric supplied with a hardshell case.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Acoustic performances requiring onboard volume and tone adjustment at the soundhole.
- Players seeking a Purple Burst slope-shoulder dreadnought with a SlimTaper neck.
- Taking an acoustic-electric between home, rehearsal and gigs in its hardshell case.
