Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built for players who want conventional electric-guitar control alongside a sustain system for more extended sounds. The thin C mahogany neck and pale moon ebony fingerboard support fast, responsive playing, while the Sustainiac neck system can hold notes and create controlled feedback. A Seymour Duncan '78 bridge pickup handles the bridge position, and the Floyd Rose 1500 locking tremolo is there for pronounced pitch work. Its gloss-natural, black-resin look is matched by chrome hardware and multi-ply binding.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Lead passages and atmospheric parts that make use of the Sustainiac system’s sustained notes and controlled feedback.
  • Expressive tremolo work, including dive bombs and detailed vibrato phrasing with the Floyd Rose bridge.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Left-handed guitarists; this is a right-handed six-string model.
