Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for left-handed players, the 217e Plus combines the Grand Pacific body with a torrefied Sitka spruce top for a warm, broad voice that retains articulation and dynamic response. Layered Big Leaf Maple back and sides balance the bass and treble while adding midrange definition. Its slim neck profile is intended for smooth movement along the fingerboard. The ES2 pickup system captures that acoustic character for amplified stage or studio work.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Left-handed players seeking warm chord blend alongside defined notes for fingerstyle or flatpicking.
- Amplified acoustic work where bass and treble balance needs to carry into a studio or stage rig.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Right-handed players, as this guitar has a left-handed orientation.
