Detail 01
Mahogany body and neck
Dense and warm. Pushes low mids, softens top end, and adds noticeable weight over a poplar or basswood guitar.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Left-handed mahogany-body Schecter with active pickups and a fixed Tune-O-Matic bridge. For intermediate lefty players who want a thick, high-output rock tone.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Left-handed players tired of choosing from a thin selection
- Rhythm work in drop or standard tuning at high gain
- Players who want a fixed bridge and stable tuning
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone who needs a tremolo for dive bombs or vibrato
- Players who prefer passive pickups and amp-driven dynamics
- Right-handed players — this is a lefty-only build
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
Active pickups
Battery-powered, high output, low noise. Consistent tone at high gain but requires a 9V battery you must keep fresh.
Detail 03
Tune-O-Matic bridge
Fixed bridge. Better tuning stability and easier string changes than a tremolo, but no whammy bar.
Detail 04
Rosewood fingerboard
Slightly softer feel than maple, with a rounder attack. Needs occasional oiling, not the lacquer treatment maple gets.
Detail 05
Left-handed orientation
Mirrored body, nut, and bridge. Strings, straps and most hardware fit fine; some accessories and lessons will not.
Detail 06
Black Cherry finish
Dark red over black. Shows fingerprints and buckle wear the way most gloss dark finishes do.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Active pickups need a 9V battery — unplug the cable to stop drain
- 02No case or gig bag comes with the guitar
- 03Factory setup is a starting point; expect a truss rod and action check
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it come with a case?
No. The guitar ships without a case or gig bag. A hardshell case or a padded gig bag is a separate purchase.
02Can I use it for drop tunings?
Yes. The fixed Tune-O-Matic bridge handles tuning changes well. Heavier gauge strings help keep tension usable in drop tunings, and will need a setup.
03How long does the battery last?
Depends on playing hours. Leaving a cable plugged into the guitar keeps the circuit powered, so unplug when you are done to avoid draining it.
04Is this heavy?
Mahogany body and neck make it a solid, substantial guitar. If you play long sets standing, a wide padded strap is worth having.
