Default G5422 new

Any feed back on this new Korean model G5422?
list for $1,500 sale price is $1,050. looks great like a falcon with out the gold binding and some other cosmetics wondering how well it plays and sounds seems like they are using the Balwin era pick ups which like my stereo falcon are very hot.would Purchase as a back up or second Ax.

I saw my first one yesterday and it was striking. Looks even better in person than in a photo. Played very well and the BT Filter'trons sound very nice. I think it's worth the money.

There are a fees guys here who've gotten them recently and they all seem to love them. The new Baldwin-style Blacktop Filtertrons sound sweeeeet IMHO.
