Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Left-handed 7-string with active-voiced humbuckers, built for down-tuned modern metal and technical playing. For intermediate and up.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Left-handed players wanting a factory 7-string, not a conversion
- Down-tuned rhythm work needing a tight low B
- Technical lead playing across seven strings
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- First guitars — seven strings is a lot to learn on
- Clean, vintage, or blues-leaning tones
- Players who dislike wide necks and string spacing
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
HH pickups
Two humbuckers, no single-coil position. Thick and quiet under high gain, less snap for cleans.
Detail 03
Left-handed build
Built lefty from the ground up. Controls, cutaways and finish all land where a left-handed player expects.
Detail 04
Solid body
Handles high gain without feedback and sustains longer than a hollow or semi-hollow.
Detail 05
Black Cherry finish
Deep red over black. Reads near-black in low light and shows the red under stage lighting.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Seven-string sets are a separate purchase and harder to find locally
- 02Down-tuning below B usually needs a heavier gauge and a setup
- 03Confirm your case or gig bag fits a 7-string neck and headstock
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a true left-handed guitar or a flipped righty?
It's built left-handed. The body contours, cutaway access and controls are all oriented for a left-handed player.
02What tuning is this best in?
Standard seven-string tuning, B-E-A-D-G-B-E. It handles a step down from there, though heavier strings and a setup help.
03Can a beginner start on this?
It's aimed at intermediate players. The wider neck and extra string make basic chord shapes and muting harder to learn on.
04Will it do clean tones?
Yes, but two humbuckers push it toward thick and dark. Players chasing sparkly cleans usually look at a single-coil guitar.
