Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Jeff Beck signature Stratocaster in Olympic White with an alder body, three single-coils and a C-shape maple neck. Aimed at advanced players who lean on the vibrato arm.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Expressive lead players who work the tremolo constantly
- Anyone wanting three single-coils with a modern, focused voice
- Players comfortable with a standard C neck profile
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners — the price and the specificity are both high
- Players needing humbucker output for heavy gain
- Left-handed players; this is a right-handed build
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Alder body
Medium weight with strong mids. The standard Strat body wood, and the reason the tone sits balanced rather than scooped.
Detail 03
C-shape maple neck
The most common Fender profile — rounded, not too deep. Comfortable for most hand sizes without feeling thin.
Detail 04
Rosewood fingerboard
Warmer and slightly softer attack than maple, with a more open, textured feel under the fingers.
Detail 05
Tremolo bridge
Built for arm use. Heavy vibrato work makes a good nut and proper spring setup essential for staying in tune.
Detail 06
Solid body
Handles high volume without feedback and sustains well, at the cost of weight on a long set.

Know before you order
- 01Guitar only — no amp, cable, strap or case is listed
- 02Expect a setup: tremolo spring tension and intonation after shipping
- 03Single-coils pick up hum near lighting dimmers and computer monitors
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will the single-coils hum?
Single-coil pickups pick up electrical interference by design. It is most noticeable near monitors, dimmers and neon signs, and quietest in the two in-between switch positions.
02Is the tremolo hard to keep in tune?
Any Strat-style tremolo depends on nut, string and spring setup. Set up properly it handles regular arm use; heavy dive-bombing will still pull it sharp over time.
03Rosewood or maple board — which should I pick?
This one has rosewood: warmer, more open feeling, a little softer on the attack. Choose maple instead if you want a brighter, snappier response and a sealed, fast surface.
04Is this suitable for a first guitar?
Not really. At $2,499 it is a professional signature instrument. The playing fundamentals are identical on a far cheaper Stratocaster.
