Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The G5222 Electromatic Double Jet BT pairs a chambered mahogany body and maple top with a Black Top Broad’Tron at each position. Its four-knob control arrangement gives the neck and bridge pickups separate volume controls, then adds master volume and master tone for overall adjustment; the master-volume circuit includes treble bleed. Use the three-position toggle to move between bridge, combined, and neck pickup settings. The guitar has a 24.6-inch scale, 22 frets, a laurel fingerboard, and an Anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Moving between bridge, combined, and neck pickup sounds from a three-position toggle.
