Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The K22e 12-Fret pairs a compact Grand Concert body with a 12-fret neck and 24.875-inch scale for slightly condensed fret spacing and easier fretting. Solid figured koa covers the top, back, and sides, bringing a strong midrange focus with added upper-end brightness and chime. Taylor’s V-Class bracing supports clearer, more consistent response across the fretboard. Plug in through the Expression System 2, with its behind-the-saddle transducer, adjustable sensors, and onboard volume, active bass, and treble controls.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Right-handed players who prefer a compact Grand Concert body and 12-fret playing layout.
- Acoustic-electric setups requiring onboard volume, active bass, and treble adjustment.
- Players seeking koa’s midrange focus with added top-end brightness and chime.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players.
- Players looking for a full-scale 25.5-inch instrument.
