Detail 01
7/8 scale
Shorter string length than a standard electric. Frets sit closer together, so chord shapes are an easier reach.

moderncomfortabledynamic
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 7/8-scale basswood electric with two humbuckers, aimed at younger players or anyone wanting a smaller guitar on a tight budget.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Younger students whose hands do not fit a full-size neck
- A cheap second guitar to leave at a practice space
- Adults with smaller hands who find full-scale necks a stretch
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting bright single-coil chime — the humbuckers push thicker
- Anyone needing a guitar that holds tune through hard whammy use
- Left-handed players; this is right-handed only
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
Basswood body
Light and tonally even with a soft top end. Less bite than alder, easy on the shoulder for long practice.
Detail 03
HH pickups
Two humbuckers — thicker and hotter than single-coils, and quiet under fluorescent lights. Leans into overdrive readily.
Detail 04
Maple neck
Stiff and stable with a snappy attack that tightens up basswood's softer response.
Detail 05
Tremolo bridge
A whammy bar lets you dip pitch, but at this price expect tuning to drift after heavy use.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No amp or cable included — budget for both to hear it
- 02Budget instruments ship rough; a setup makes it far easier to play
- 03Shorter scale means slightly slacker strings, so tuning stability needs watching
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this good for a kid?
Yes. The 7/8 scale shortens the reach between frets and the basswood body keeps the weight down, which suits smaller players.
02Does it come with an amp?
No. It is the guitar alone. You will need an amp and a cable to play it plugged in.
03How different is 7/8 scale from full size?
Noticeably shorter string length and tighter fret spacing. Chords are an easier stretch, and the strings feel a little slacker at pitch.
04Is there a left-handed version?
This one is right-handed. A lefty player would need to look at a different model.
