Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The Black Metalflake Blackout ’59 combines a chambered semi-hollow Shorthorn body with a double cutaway and bolt-on maple neck. Its NOS+ lipstick pickups deliver the bright, articulate clarity and chime associated with this model, maintaining definition from clean passages through overdrive. The C-profile neck and 14-inch-radius pau ferro fingerboard are set up for chords, leads, and shifts across the 21-fret neck. A three-way toggle with master volume and tone keeps changes direct during rehearsals, sessions, and live work.
