Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
With its Charcoal Purple Burst finish, the SE Chleo is a 24-fret, double-cutaway solidbody centered on a thin Chleo maple neck and a flat, 20-inch-radius ebony fingerboard. Carbon-fiber strength rods reinforce the bolt-on neck. The active Fishman Fluence Signature Series Herman Li Omniforce pickups work with push/pull volume and tone controls plus a 5-way blade for 13 voice combinations. Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo hardware and a PRS locking nut place expressive pitch control at the core of the design, with a rear-mounted 9V battery powering the electronics.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Technical practice involving rapid fretting, tapping, wide bends, or tremolo-based pitch manipulation.
- Live or studio parts that need multiple active pickup voices available from one guitar.
- Players who want a 24-fret guitar with a flat 20-inch-radius ebony fingerboard.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who do not want an active pickup system powered by a 9V battery.
- Players looking for a fixed-bridge guitar rather than a Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo.
