The Korena take
Cover clean parts and higher-gain material from one HSS layout with this right-handed American Ultra II Stratocaster. A Haymaker humbucker sits at the bridge, joined by Ultra II Noiseless Hot Strat pickups in the middle and neck positions. Use the five-way blade for pickup selection, then engage the S-1 volume control to split the humbucker. The quartersawn maple Modern D neck carries an Ultra satin finish and a 10–14 inch compound-radius maple fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets. Locking tuners and a two-point synchronized tremolo complete the hardware.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Switching from clean parts to high-gain lead sounds using the five-way blade and S-1 switch.
- Players who want a maple fingerboard, 22 medium-jumbo frets, and upper-fret access.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this is a right-handed instrument.
- Players seeking an SSS pickup configuration rather than a bridge humbucker.
