Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Period-focused early-’60s Strat design with an alder body, maple neck, and round-laminated rosewood fingerboard. Its three vintage-style single-coils deliver the bright, articulate response described for this model, while the five-position blade and volume and tone controls let you shape parts through picking dynamics and control changes. The contoured body is designed to sit naturally standing or seated, and the Early ’60s C neck, 7.25-inch radius, and vintage-tall frets complete the traditional-spec playing platform. This version is finished in Surf Green Metallic.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Rhythm-to-lead changes that call for five pickup positions and an early-’60s C-shaped neck.
  • Clean and driven parts where picking nuance and volume adjustments shape the guitar’s response.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Left-handed players; this is a right-handed guitar.
  • Players seeking a different pickup layout; it uses three single-coil Strat pickups in an SSS configuration.
