Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

SUB Series Cutlass Classic pairs a poplar double-cutaway body with an Alnico HSS pickup set, offering five pickup positions from single-coil voices through blended sounds to the bridge humbucker. The hard maple neck and laurel fingerboard carry 22 frets on a 25.5-inch scale, while the fulcrum tremolo adds pitch modulation to the control layout. In Candy Apple Red, it is a straightforward right-handed solidbody for clean articulation, crunchy rhythm parts, and higher-gain lead work.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere
