Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Designed as a road-worn-looking HSS Strat with expanded switching, this Custom Shop model pairs an alder body and top with a quarter-sawn roasted maple neck and compound-radius rosewood fingerboard. Two proprietary hand-wound single coils work alongside a Seymour Duncan SH4 Jeff Beck bridge humbucker. The five-way selector covers the core pickup choices, and the 1/2 Blender wiring adds a neck-and-bridge parallel blend by pulling up the master tone control. A Journeyman Relic nitro finish completes the aged appearance.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Players who need single-coil and bridge-humbucker voices from one HSS Strat-style guitar.
  • Parts that benefit from blending the neck and bridge pickups in parallel.
  • Working setups using vintage-style locking tuners and a vintage-style tremolo bridge.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players looking for an unworn, unaged finish rather than simulated wear, buckle rash, and yellowed binding.
