Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built around active Jason Richardson HT humbuckers, a coil-split control and a push/push gain boost, the Cutlass HT gives a player several ways to shape an amplified sound from the guitar itself. Its alder body, buckeye burl top, roasted figured maple neck and ebony fingerboard make up a purpose-built six-string platform. The flat/thin C neck, 24 stainless-steel frets and Modern Classic tremolo place fast passages, bends and vibrato within a single performance-focused layout.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Players moving between humbucker sounds, coil-split settings and an onboard gain boost during a set.
  • Detailed electric-guitar parts that use all 24 frets, vibrato work and a 25.5-inch scale.
  • Transporting the guitar in its included Mono soft case for rehearsals, recording sessions or performances.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players who require a seven-string guitar; this is a six-string, right-handed model.
