Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The left-handed 117e brings the Grand Pacific format to players who need a southpaw acoustic-electric. Its torrefied spruce top and layered sapele back and sides support a balanced voice with warm low end and clear upper range, suited to strumming, flatpicking, or fingerstyle parts. The ES2 electronics carry its acoustic response into a PA or studio chain, with onboard bass, treble, and phase controls available at the guitar. A 20-fret ebony fingerboard and gig bag make it ready for regular transport and use.
