Detail 01
7/8 scale
Shorter string length means lower string tension and closer fret spacing. Easier chord stretches, but bends feel loose and tuning drifts more.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 7/8-scale electric with two humbuckers, built for smaller hands and first guitars. Buy it as a starter or a low-stakes travel/couch guitar.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Kids or small-framed players who find a full-size body unwieldy
- A first electric where the budget is the deciding factor
- A knock-around guitar for the couch, dorm room, or travel
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting single-coil chime — HH gives none of it
- Gigging musicians needing tuning stability and hardware that survives abuse
- Anyone stepping up from a full-scale guitar; the short neck feels cramped
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
Two humbuckers (HH)
Thick, quiet output that pushes an amp into distortion easily. Good for rock; no bright, hollow single-coil cluck available.
Detail 03
Basswood body
Light and soft-toned with a strong midrange and little bite. Comfortable to hold, and it dents more easily than harder woods.
Detail 04
Maple neck
Stiff and bright, which counteracts basswood's softness and adds attack. Also holds a stable feel as humidity shifts.
Detail 05
Solid body
No acoustic volume to speak of — you need an amp to hear it properly. In exchange, it resists feedback at high gain.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No amp, cable, or strap included — budget for those separately
- 02Expect a setup: action and intonation usually need adjusting out of the box
- 03Short scale means standard-gauge strings feel slack; heavier gauges help
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How big is a 7/8-scale guitar?
Slightly smaller than a full-size electric across the neck and body. It suits players roughly 10 and up, or adults who want a more compact instrument.
02Does it come with an amp?
No. The guitar is sold on its own, so you'll need an amp and a cable to play it electrically.
03Can adults play it?
Yes. Adults use it as a travel or practice guitar. The frets sit closer together, so it feels tight if you're used to full scale.
04Is it good for rock and metal?
The two humbuckers handle distorted rock fine at practice volume. Hardware and tuning stability are the limits, not the pickups.
