Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The D-45 Standard is a natural-finish D-14 fret dreadnought with a spruce top, East Indian rosewood back and sides, and forward-shifted GE-scalloped X bracing. Its voice is presented as rich and resonant, with a broad dynamic range, shimmering highs, robust mids, warm lows, and dreadnought projection. A GE Modified Low Oval neck with High Performance taper meets an ebony fingerboard. The guitar is handcrafted in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, with antique white binding, abalone details, and a faux-tortoise pickguard.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage and studio work requiring the supplied bold yet balanced dreadnought response.
