Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For players who need a 12-string acoustic-electric, the GD30CE-12 combines a dreadnought cutaway body with a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides. Its TP-4TD preamp provides a built-in chromatic tuner, three-band EQ, and gain control for amplified use. The slim mahogany neck and 12-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard are paired with 20 frets and a 25.4-inch scale. A rosewood split-saddle bridge, synthetic bone nut and saddle, and gloss Natural finish complete the build.
