Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed as a right-handed eight-string, the Majesty 8 pairs a basswood double-cutaway body with mahogany neck-through construction, an ebony fingerboard, and 24 medium-jumbo frets. Its 25.5 to 27 inch multi-scale layout is specified for a tight low F# while retaining room for solos. Slanted DiMarzio Rainmaker and Dreamcatcher humbuckers work alongside a Fishman Powerbridge piezo, with separate volume controls and magnetic/both/piezo output selection. A fixed Music Man hardtail piezo bridge and locking tuners round out the extended-range format.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Extended-range parts that use the eight-string layout and its specified low F#.
- Players who alternate magnetic pickup, piezo, and combined output selections.
- Detailed rhythm and lead work on a 24-fret, multi-scale neck-through guitar.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players, as this is a right-handed guitar.
- Players who need a six-string instrument.
