Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a double-cutaway laminated-maple body and chambered spruce center block, the G5622T is a right-handed, six-string semi-hollow electric with two Black Top Broad'Tron humbuckers. Its Bigsby B70 vibrato works with an anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge, while individual pickup volumes, master volume with treble bleed, master tone, and a three-way switch give you a detailed control layout. The maple neck carries a laurel fingerboard, 22 medium-jumbo frets, a 24.6-inch scale, and 12-inch radius.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Using a Bigsby B70 vibrato for pitch-bend work while retaining separate neck and bridge pickup volume controls.

- Players who want a right-handed six-string semi-hollow, double-cutaway electric guitar.
