Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Cadillac Green, the G5655TG Electromatic Center Block Jr. is a right-handed semi-hollow electric built around a chambered spruce center block. Its two Black Top Broad'Tron humbuckers connect to a three-way toggle for bridge, neck, or combined-pickup operation. The thin U maple neck, 12-inch-radius laurel fingerboard, and 22 medium-jumbo frets create a solid-body-familiar playing layout. An Adjusto-Matic bridge works with the Bigsby B70 vibrato tailpiece, with individual pickup volumes alongside master volume and tone controls.
Strong match
Who this is for
- High-volume electric-guitar work needing bridge, neck, and combined humbucker selections.
- Players accustomed to solid-body electrics who want a thinner U-shaped neck profile.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players.
- Players who do not want a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece.
