Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
With its offset Kelly body, poplar wings, and neck-through maple construction, the KEX is arranged for metal-oriented rhythm and lead work. The bound laurel fingerboard moves from a rounder 12-inch radius near the nut to a flatter 16-inch radius farther up, across 24 jumbo frets. Two Jackson high-output humbuckers route through a three-way selector with volume and tone controls. A recessed Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo supports demanding tremolo parts while holding tuning stability.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Metal rhythm and lead arrangements that alternate between chords, bends, and fast upper-register passages.
- Players who rely on a double-locking Floyd Rose Special for tremolo-based pitch effects.
- Stage setups where the offset Kelly body is part of the visual presentation.
