Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Fender’s right-handed Villager is a 12-string acoustic-electric with a spruce top, sapele back and sides, and a 24.75-inch scale. The shorter scale is described as making all 12 strings easier to handle together, while the slim-taper C nato neck is designed for a comfortable feel. Fishman Flex electronics let you connect to an amplifier while retaining the guitar’s natural acoustic character. It is a focused option for moving between unplugged 12-string parts and amplified performance.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage sets that need a twelve-string acoustic part amplified through an amplifier.
- Players seeking the described slinkier response from a 24.75-inch-scale twelve-string.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this version is specified right-handed.
