Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Made in the USA, the American Series Virtuoso is a right-handed electric guitar with a contoured alder body and a five-piece caramelized maple/maple neck reinforced with graphite. A Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 bridge humbucker and '59 SH-1N neck humbucker work through five-way switching, giving the player several pickup positions from one control layout. The rolled-edge, 12-inch–16-inch compound-radius streaked ebony fingerboard carries 24 jumbo frets and Luminlay side dots. Floyd Rose 1500 Series double-locking tremolo hardware, Gotoh locking tuners, and a Jackson foam-core case complete the package.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Switching among five pickup positions during rhythm and lead parts in studio or live work.
  • Using aggressive tremolo techniques with the Floyd Rose 1500 Series double-locking bridge.
  • Long performances where the contoured alder body and rolled fingerboard edges matter.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players seeking a fixed bridge instead of a Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo.
  • Players who do not want a locking-nut tremolo system.
