Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A performance-focused 5150 Series electric guitar pairing a quilted maple-topped basswood body with Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbuckers, a fast baked maple neck and a Floyd Rose locking tremolo with D-Tuna.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players seeking a fast modified-C baked maple neck with a 12–16 in. compound-radius fingerboard
- Players who use dive-bombs, pull-ups or wide vibrato techniques
- Players wanting direct-mount humbuckers, a kill switch and instant drop-D access
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who do not want a Floyd Rose R3 locking nut and locking tremolo system
- Players looking for a guitar with fewer than 22 jumbo frets
- Left-handed players
