Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Satin Black C-1 SLS Custom combines a contoured swamp ash body with an ultrathin maple, walnut, and padauk neck for players focused on fast, precise movement. Its maple fingerboard, 24 frets, and 25.5-inch scale form the playing platform, while two carbon-fiber rods reinforce the neck. Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers provide high-output, PAF-inspired, and single-coil-like voices, with push-pull controls for coil split and second-humbucker voicing. A Hipshot hardtail and locking tuners round out the black hardware.
