Great guitar for the money!

The G5 features vibrant new finishes, our 600T tremolo and electronics that get right down to solid searing sound. A five-way selector gives you the choice of a humbucker or 2 expressive single coil pickups. The middle pickup is reverse wound to provide combined humbucking performance with the frequency response of a single coil.
