Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The PS12ce 12-Fret is a right-handed Grand Concert acoustic-electric with a stripy sinker redwood top, Honduran rosewood back and sides, and a 12-fret neck-to-body construction. Its compact, focused Grand Concert voice is presented for detailed fingerstyle work, while V-Class bracing is part of the build. The Expression System 2’s behind-the-saddle transducer has adjustable sensors and is controlled by volume, active bass and treble settings, plus an onboard phase switch. The 18-fret, 24.875-inch-scale guitar includes a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.
