Detail 01
Mikro short scale
Shorter string length means less reach between frets and slacker string tension. Easier to fret, easier to bend.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Short-scale Ibanez electric with two humbuckers and a fixed bridge. Built for smaller hands and younger beginners who need a full-sounding guitar.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Kids and small-framed players starting out
- Travel or couch practice where a full-size body is awkward
- A second guitar kept in an alternate tuning
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Adults with large hands wanting normal string spacing
- Players who want dive bombs or vibrato effects
- Anyone needing single-coil chime or twang
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
HH pickups
Two humbuckers. Thicker and louder than single-coils, and quiet under fluorescent lights and computer screens.
Detail 03
Fixed bridge
No tremolo. Tuning holds better, string changes are simpler, and there's nothing to set up or float.
Detail 04
Short scale tuning behavior
Lower tension makes strings go sharp under a heavy grip. Light touch matters more than on a full scale.
Detail 05
White finish
Shows buckle rash and pick scratches more than dark finishes, but hides dust and fingerprints better.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No amp, cable, strap or tuner included — budget for those
- 02Short scale often ships with strings too light; heavier gauge tightens feel
- 03Factory setups vary; a fret-level and action check makes a real difference
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What age is this guitar right for?
The short scale suits roughly ages 8 and up, and any adult with small hands. Reach between frets is the deciding factor, not age.
02Can adults play it?
Yes. Adults use short scales for travel and for the slacker feel. The narrower fret spacing is the main adjustment.
03Does it stay in tune?
The fixed bridge helps considerably. Most tuning trouble on short scales comes from fretting too hard, which pulls notes sharp.
04Do I need a special amp?
No. Any standard guitar amp works. The humbuckers put out enough signal to drive a small practice amp without trouble.
