Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed around a unison double 12-string layout, the 657ce Doce Doble is a right-handed Grand Pacific acoustic-electric with a reinforced bridge for the added string tension. Its solid Sitka spruce top, figured big leaf maple back and sides, and V-Class bracing deliver warm balance, clear highs, strong low end, volume, sustain, and intonation. The deep Florentine cutaway reaches the upper register, while Taylor ES2 electronics carry the guitar’s acoustic character into an amp or PA with volume and 2-band EQ control.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Latin and Mexican folk music built around a unison 12-string guitar sound.
- Plugging into an amplifier or PA while adjusting volume and two-band EQ.
