Another lazy day of heading down to SV guitars to try out some of the stuff they have. By the way, for those living near Jurong, they have a branch within the new mall "Jcube". The shop is brightly lit and as grass like carpet on the shelf. Customers can sit there and test the guitars. Meaning, there is a lot of sitting space.
Anyway, this time I tested the Korina X by Swing guitars. Well, it was more of the staff prompt me to test the guitar. I didn't really pick it. Plugged in, I was pleasantly surprised by how good this guitar sounds. It's almost like they put the wrong pickups into the guitar (a better one instead of the stock pair). Or rather, the Swing Heart Breaker set is that good. The pickup was punchy and tight with a lot of definition and pick attack. Clean, the note is clear with a lot of sustain.
It is neck through and hardware are the tuning pegs are genuine Grovers. No worries on guitar going out because of sucky tuning pegs. The neck is kind of like a thin C shape. It isn't wizard thin but still comfortable to grip. Even though it has a single cutaway shape, the cut away side is beveled for easier access and in-addition to that, it has 24 frets! It's not a super strat. It's a super single cutaway.
One of the best part of the guitar is the body wood make. Instead of the usual mahogany, alder or basswood, this guitar sports a Korina (That's why it's called Korina X) wood body. That might be the main cause on why it was so punchy in tone. The most important factor of this guitar, is the price range it is priced at. It can easily beat a lot of other guitars at this price range in terms of body wood and make.
If you are looking for a good guitar priced at the mid level guitar price range, I urge you to head down towards SV guitars to try this unit out. It can wow even the most seasoned of the players. Good playability and good price range! For more information, click here.
