Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed around a 000 auditorium body, this Custom Shop 28 Style combines a certified European high altitude spruce top with ziricote back and sides. The build is described as balanced and clear, with detailed articulation, a quick attack, and ringing sustain from the ziricote. Its modified low oval neck, ebony fingerboard, 20 frets, and 24.9-inch scale create a focused playing platform for nuanced phrasing. The dark, patterned ziricote is finished in gloss, with antique white binding and herringbone top inlay adding visual contrast.
