Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
In Faded Black, this American Professional Classic Stratocaster combines an alder double-cutaway body with a rosewood fingerboard and satin urethane-finished maple neck. Three Coastline '57 single-coils feed a five-position blade switch, so the guitar offers neck, middle, bridge, and intermediate pickup choices. Master volume and two Greasebucket tone controls handle on-guitar adjustment, including treble reduction that retains clarity. The six-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo supports pitch modulation, while its individual saddles allow string-height and intonation adjustments.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live set changes that need quick access to five single-coil pickup settings from the guitar.
- Players who use a tremolo bridge and want individually adjustable saddles for setup work.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
