Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Designed in a left-handed Stratocaster layout, this American Ultra II combines three noiseless Vintage Strat pickups with a 5-way blade switch and two dedicated tone controls. The S-1 switch expands the pickup options by adding the neck pickup in positions 1 and 2. A 2-point synchronized tremolo, locking tuners, Modern D quartersawn maple neck, and 10–14 inch compound-radius maple fingerboard provide its core playing and setup features. Sculpted contours, a tapered heel, Luminlay side dots, and the included deluxe molded case round out a performance-oriented left-handed Strat.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Left-handed players using Strat-style five-way switching, three single-coil pickups, and a synchronized tremolo.
  • Changing pickup combinations during live or studio parts with the S-1 control and separate tone controls.
  • Higher-fret playing supported by the tapered neck heel, sculpted body contours, and medium-jumbo frets.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Right-handed players; this model is specified as left handed.
  • Players who want a fixed bridge; it is fitted with a 2-point synchronized tremolo.
