Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The left-handed Academy 12e-N is a nylon-string Grand Concert with a solid spruce top, walnut back and sides, and a satin-finished body. Its compact, lightweight design and simplified armrest are intended to keep extended playing more comfortable. The onboard ES-B system adds practical amplification, with volume and tone controls plus a tuner available at the guitar. For southpaw nylon-string players who need an acoustic instrument that can also connect to amplification, it is a focused, ready-to-carry option with a soft gig bag.
