Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around Taylor’s Grand Concert body, the 912ce Builder’s Edition pairs a stripy sinker redwood top with Honduran rosewood back and sides. Its V-Class bracing is designed for clear, orderly notes, while the compact body is suited to light fingerpicking, strumming, recording, and performance. A satin neo-tropical mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, Venetian cutaway, beveled armrest, chamfered edges, and Curve Wing bridge shape the hands-on experience. ES2 electronics provide adjustable amplified output through volume, active bass, and treble controls.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording or live arrangements where controlled overtones help the guitar occupy less space in a mix.
- Players moving between light fingerpicking and strumming on a Grand Concert acoustic-electric.
- Stage work that needs onboard volume, bass, treble, and phase-switch controls.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this model is specified as right handed.
- Players seeking a guitar without onboard electronics.
