Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around an eight-string, 25.5–27-inch multiscale layout, the C-8 Multiscale Rob Scallon is aimed at players working across an extended range. The longer low-string scale and shorter high-string scale are intended to keep tension more consistent and improve intonation, while the 20-inch-radius ebony fingerboard and jumbo frets support bends and vibrato. Custom Diamond ’78 Rob Scallon humbuckers, push/pull switching, and a three-way selector keep sound changes direct and accessible.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Extended-range guitar parts that benefit from different scale lengths across the low and high strings.
- Players who want neck, bridge, and combined humbucker selections from a straightforward control layout.
- Stage use requiring locking tuners, a hardtail bridge, and quick access to volume and tone controls.
