Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for left-handed players, the GME-5/L expands the usual mandolin layout with a low C string and CGDAE tuning. That extra lower string gives chord work more available voicings and extends the range for lead parts. Its solid alder body carries a stacked humbucking pickup, with volume and tone controls at hand. Individual height and compensation adjustment at the metal bridge lets each string be set independently, and the included padded gig bag covers transport.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Left-handed players who want lower C notes alongside five-string mandolin chord and lead work.
- Players shaping amplified output with onboard volume and tone controls.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Right-handed players; this is a left-handed model.
