Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a neck-through, graphite-reinforced maple neck, the Soloist SLX is a six-string electric geared toward fast lead work and tremolo playing. Its Duncan Designed humbuckers cover the neck, bridge, or combined pickup settings through a three-way switch. The laurel fingerboard shifts from a rounder 12-inch radius near the nut to 16 inches farther up, while 24 jumbo frets and the Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo support bends and active vibrato work.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Lead-focused electric playing that uses wide bends and frequent Floyd Rose tremolo movement.
- Players moving between chord shapes and solos on the compound-radius fingerboard.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who specifically need a fixed bridge instead of a tremolo/vibrato system.
- Left-handed players.
