Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Dark Cherry Metallic G5230T is a chambered-mahogany, maple-topped single-cut electric with a Bigsby tailpiece and two Black Top Filter'Tron pickups. Its described sound covers full, punchy lows and mids through a clear, shimmering upper range. Separate pickup-volume knobs allow you to balance the two pickups, with master tone and a treble-bleed-equipped master volume handling broader adjustments. It is a right-handed six-string with 22 frets and a 24.6-inch scale length.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rehearsal and recording parts where individual pickup levels need to be balanced from the guitar.
- Players seeking the supplied range from punchy response to clear, sparkling sounds.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need a case included with the guitar; it is sold separately.
