Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
G5422TG Electromatic is a right-handed, six-string double-cut hollowbody electric guitar with a laminated maple body and top, trestle block bracing, and two FT-5E Filter'Tron humbuckers. Its control layout combines master volume and tone controls with individual pickup volumes, letting you set pickup balance at the guitar. An Adjusto-Matic bridge and Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece add pitch-control options, while the 12-inch-radius laurel fingerboard carries 22 medium-jumbo frets.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Building rockabilly or surf-rock sounds with Filter'Tron pickups and Bigsby vibrato
- Players who want individual pickup volume controls alongside master volume and tone controls
- Using a hollowbody guitar with trestle block bracing designed to improve sustain and reduce unwanted feedback
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players.
- Players seeking an instrument other than a six-string hollowbody electric guitar.
