Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Designed with a stripped-back control scheme, the Pro Plus Pure Metal Soloist SL1A combines a satin poplar body with neck-through three-piece maple construction reinforced with graphite. Its ebony fingerboard has a 12–16 inch compound radius and 24 jumbo stainless-steel frets for fast runs and wide bends. The recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo, locking nut, and sealed die-cast tuners support controlled vibrato and dramatic pitch effects. A push-pull volume control provides voice activation without adding extra knobs.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Players who want a single-control layout while retaining push-pull voice activation at the volume knob.
  • Practice and live work involving wide vibrato or dramatic pitch effects from a Floyd Rose system.
  • Fast runs and wide bends across the 24-fret compound-radius ebony fingerboard.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players who require separate tone controls or multiple pickup-selection options; the control layout is one push-pull volume knob.
