Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The G5655TG Electromatic Center Block Jr. combines a semi-hollow single-cutaway body with a chambered spruce center block for a lighter, resonant design intended for high-volume playing. Two Black Top Broad'Tron humbuckers feed a three-way toggle, covering bridge, neck, and combined-pickup selections. A thin U maple neck, 12-inch-radius laurel fingerboard, and 22 medium-jumbo frets give the playing surface a familiar solid-body-oriented feel. The Bigsby B70 tailpiece and anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge complete the hardware setup.
Strong match
Who this is for

- Players accustomed to solid-body electrics who want a thinner U-shaped neck profile.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
