Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed for left-handed players, this 12-string pairs a cutaway Grand Auditorium body with a torrefied spruce top and layered rosewood back and sides. The acoustic voice is described as punchy and resonant, with clear note separation for strumming, flatpicking, and fingerstyle work. When amplification is needed, the ES2 pickup sends the guitar's acoustic character to an amp or PA, with onboard volume, bass, and treble adjustment. The cutaway supports access to the highest frets, and a gig bag is listed.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Left-handed guitarists adding twelve-string range to amplified or acoustic parts.
- Strummed, flatpicked, or fingerstyle arrangements where individual strings need definition.
- Stage or direct-recording work using the ES2 pickup and onboard preamp controls.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
