Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The AJ80CE is a 12-string jumbo acoustic-electric with a Natural gloss finish, a solid A+ Sitka spruce top, maple back and sides, and an African mahogany neck. Its large jumbo body is matched with the FST2 bracing system, which uses a forward-shifted layout and asymmetric scalloped tone bars. The cutaway makes upper-neck access easier. For amplified use, the LR Baggs Element under-saddle pickup connects to the side-mounted StagePro Bronze preamp, including a backlit tuner and volume, bass, treble, and phase controls.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Playing a 12-string jumbo with easier access to higher neck positions.
- Using the onboard pickup system while keeping tuning and EQ controls at the guitar’s side.
- Changing the preamp battery through the integrated end-pin jack compartment.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players looking specifically for a six-string guitar.
