Detail 01
Humbucker + single coil (HS)

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Yamaha's $359.99 double-cutaway solidbody with a humbucker-and-single-coil layout and a tremolo. A first or second electric for players who want range from one guitar.
Strong match
Who this is for
- A first electric where you don't yet know your style
- Covering clean single-coil parts and higher-gain rhythm on one guitar
- Gigging players who want a reliable backup that isn't precious
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players committed to one classic tone — a dedicated single-coil or humbucker guitar suits better
- Anyone who wants rock-solid tuning under heavy whammy use
- Left-handed players
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
Tremolo bridge
You get vibrato and dive effects, but string bends pull the other strings slightly flat and string changes take longer.
Detail 03
25-inch scale
Shorter than a typical Fender scale. Slightly slacker string feel, easier bends, marginally warmer and rounder attack.
Detail 04
Solid body
No feedback problems at high gain or high volume, and it takes pedals cleanly. Heavier on a strap than a hollow build.
Detail 05
Sonic Blue finish
Solid opaque color, so body wood grain isn't visible. Hides minor gigging wear better than a natural finish.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sold as the guitar alone — you'll need an amp, cable, strap and tuner
- 02Factory setups vary; budget for a setup to get the action where you want it
- 03Tremolo springs need rebalancing if you change string gauge
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a good beginner guitar?
Yes. The pickup layout covers most styles, so you can figure out what you like without buying a second guitar first.
02Will it stay in tune with the tremolo?
For light vibrato, yes. Hard dive bombs will pull it out. Stretching the strings properly and lubricating the nut slots helps a lot.
03Can I block the tremolo?
Yes. Blocking the trem against the body is a common change and makes tuning far more stable if you don't use the bar.
04Does it handle high-gain and metal?
The bridge humbucker takes distortion without the hum and squeal a single coil gets. It's a workable metal rhythm tone.
