Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
EHB605 pairs a five-string layout with an ergonomic headless body, rounded edges, a slanted back, and a back cut behind the lower horn. Its okoume body is matched with a five-piece maple/jatoba neck and jatoba fingerboard. Two α1 pickups in an HH configuration run through a 3-band EQ with a passive/active toggle; the bypass setting turns the treble knob into a passive tone control. The MR5HS bridge uses individual pieces and allows ±1.5 mm string-spacing adjustment. Custom headpieces use a hex wrench for string adjustment, and a case is sold separately.
Strong match
