Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around Hendrix’s upside-down Strat concept in a right-handed layout, this Custom Shop model pairs a reversed headstock with three hand-wound ’69 single coils. The altered string geometry gives the low E and A a longer scale length, while the high E and B are slightly shorter for easier bends and vibrato. Its two-piece alder body, relic nitro finish, maple neck, five-way switching and American Vintage tremolo keep the focus on a period-styled Strat platform with deliberately road-worn cosmetics.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Right-handed rehearsal or stage rigs seeking the reversed-headstock string layout associated with this Hendrix-inspired model.
- Players who want three hand-wound ’69 single coils and five selectable pickup positions.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who require a standard, non-reversed headstock layout.
- Anyone looking for a clean, unaged body finish rather than Journeyman Relic treatment.
