This CLA-28VE is a seriously impressive acoustic for the money. The solid top and walnut back give it a mature, resonant voice, and the Fishman electronics are a huge bonus for stage work. It’s an excellent choice for intermediate players or anyone wanting a high-quality, versatile instrument without the premium price tag.
