Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed as a 12-string double-cut hollowbody, the G5422G-12 brings together two FT-5E Filter'Tron pickups, a laminated maple body, and trestle block bracing. That bracing increases contact between the body’s top and back, helping reduce unwanted feedback while contributing faster attack, focus, snap, and sustain. The maple Classic C neck carries a 12-inch-radius laurel fingerboard. Its control section goes beyond pickup volumes, with master volume, master tone, treble-bleed circuitry, and a 3-position tone switch for further tone shaping.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Arrangements that call for twelve-string chime, jangle, and a full-bodied electric voice.
- Players shaping pickup balance and tone with individual volumes, master controls, and a tone switch.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Six-string-only applications, because it has twelve strings.
