Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around an HSS layout, this American Ultra II Stratocaster combines a Haymaker humbucker at the bridge with two Ultra II Noiseless Hot Strat pickups. The five-way blade and S-1 volume control add a coil-split option, giving the pickup set more routing choices. Its quartersawn maple Modern D neck carries an Ultra satin finish, while the 10–14 inch compound-radius ebony board, rolled edges, tapered heel, and sculpted alder body are designed to keep movement around the neck and upper frets direct.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage or studio players who need humbucker and noiseless single-coil voices from one guitar.
- Lead work that benefits from access to the upper frets and visible Luminlay side dots.
- Players who use a tremolo bridge and want locking tuners for faster tuning adjustments.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking an SSS-only pickup layout; this model uses a bridge humbucker.
- Left-handed players; the guitar is specified as right handed.
