Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Configured for left-handed 12-string playing, the DX2E combines a dreadnought body, spruce top, and Brazilian rosewood HPL back and sides. The added string courses are described as bringing chime and extra harmonic detail to chords, melodies, and fingerpicked parts. Martin E-1 electronics include volume, tone, phase, mid-scoop adjustment, and a chromatic tuner that mutes the output while tuning. Its Performing Artist neck, beveled fingerboard edge, and contoured belly bridge address handling across the 20-fret fingerboard.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Left-handed players adding 12-string chime and layered overtones to chord or melody parts.

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players looking for a six-string guitar; this model has 12 strings.
- Right-handed players; the instrument is left-handed.
