Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Antique Violin Burst, the G290FAT II pairs a flamed maple-topped swamp ash body with a roasted maple neck and fingerboard. Its Voiced Tone VTH77 humbuckers feed a custom-wired five-way selector, giving single-coil sounds in positions 2 and 4 alongside humbucker settings. The 12-15.75-inch compound radius shifts from chord-friendly lower positions to a faster upper register, and the Cort CFA-III tremolo adds a dedicated vibrato system with stainless-steel saddles and a solid steel block.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Switching between humbucker settings and the single-coil voices in positions 2 and 4.
- Combining lower-register chord work with upper-register solos and string bends.
- Players who want a tremolo-equipped, right-handed guitar in Antique Violin Burst.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this is a right-handed model.
