Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A USA-made Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric that combines scalloped V-Class bracing, Action Control neck adjustment, comfort-focused Builder’s Edition detailing and Taylor Claria electronics.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players seeking a Grand Auditorium voice for fingerstyle and assertive strumming
- Performers who want soundhole-mounted Volume, Mid-Contour and Tone controls
- Players who value tool-free string-height adjustment without removing the neck or detuning
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players
