Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 512ce brings Western red cedar and neo-tropical mahogany together in a compact Grand Concert acoustic-electric. Its voice is warm, focused and articulate, with clear note separation and natural compression that reward a nuanced touch. Scalloped V-Class bracing contributes greater warmth, open-string resonance, low-end depth and sustain. The Venetian cutaway opens access to the upper register, and the Action Control neck lets you make precise string-height changes without taking off the neck or strings. Claria electronics cover amplified use.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Intricate fingerstyle work that benefits from fast response to a light attack.
- Solo acoustic recording where clear note separation and a focused voice matter.
- Vocal accompaniment and melodic passages that use the guitar's accessible upper frets.
