Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a dreadnought body and 12-string layout, the DX2E brings the added shimmer and harmonic detail of paired strings to strummed parts and single-note lines. Its spruce top uses scalloped X-bracing, while Brazilian rosewood-pattern HPL forms the back and sides. The Performing Artist neck, 16-inch radius and beveled fingerboard edges are intended to make the transition across 12 strings more manageable. Martin E-1 electronics provide a direct route to a PA when the part needs amplification.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Amplified 12-string parts routed directly to a PA using the onboard E-1 system.
- Players moving from six strings who want a slimmer Performing Artist neck profile.
- Transporting a 12-string in changing conditions with HPL back and sides.
