Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Made in the USA at Jackson's Corona facility, the American Series Virtuoso pairs a contoured alder body with a bolt-on, five-piece caramelized maple/maple neck reinforced with graphite. Its Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 bridge humbucker and '59 SH-1N neck humbucker feed a five-way blade switch, master volume, and master tone. The guitar combines a Floyd Rose 1500 Series double-locking tremolo and locking nut with Gotoh MG-T locking tuners. Its 24-jumbo-fret streaked-ebony fingerboard uses a 12-to-16-inch compound radius and Luminlay side dots.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live or studio guitar work using five-way pickup selection and a Floyd Rose tremolo.
- Lead and rhythm parts that move between lower frets and the upper end of the fingerboard.
- Performance environments where illuminated side dots help locate positions on a dark stage.
