Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a Grand Auditorium body, the Next Generation 814ce Builder’s Edition combines an Adirondack spruce top, Honduran rosewood back and sides, and scalloped V-Class bracing for a broad, detailed acoustic voice with sustain and note definition. The long-tenon Action Control neck allows tool-free string-height adjustment without taking off the strings. Chamfered body edges and the beveled neo-tropical mahogany armrest address comfort through extended sessions, while Claria electronics provide onboard volume, tone, and mid-contour shaping for amplified work.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live or studio acoustic sets that need onboard level and tonal adjustment.
- Extended playing sessions where chamfered edges and a beveled armrest matter.
- Players who want to alter string height without removing the strings.
