Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Twelve-string players get a Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric with a torrefied spruce top, layered rosewood back and sides, and a cutaway for reaching the upper frets. It responds to both strumming and fingerpicking with clear note definition across the added string courses. The ES2 system carries those playing dynamics to an amp or PA, while onboard controls provide amplified tone adjustment. A dedicated 12-string neck profile, 20 frets, natural gloss finish, and included gig bag round out the package.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Amplified twelve-string parts through an amp or PA, with onboard tone adjustment.
- Fingerpicked passages and strummed rhythm work that need clear individual-note definition.
- Melodic playing above the body joint, using the cutaway for upper-fret access.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this version is specified for right-handed orientation.
