Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed as a stage-focused solidbody, the XJ-1 HT combines a Black Blast swamp ash body with a bolt-on roasted maple neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard. Its single Fluence Open Core Classic bridge pickup changes among three voices from the push-pull control: warm humbucker punch, a higher-output option with more bite, and a glassier single-coil-style sound. The fixed Hipshot bridge, locking tuners, and string-through-body layout round out a guitar intended for lower tunings and varied rock parts.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Changing between three bridge-pickup voices from one guitar during rehearsals or stage sets.
- Players using lower tunings who want 22 extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets and a Thin U neck.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need a case or gig bag included with the guitar.
- Left-handed players.
