Description

In addition to the jeweled control knobs and glittering binding reserved only for the highest-end models, this work of art also features the vertical logo used until 1957 and the thumbnail image used from late 1957 onwards. Features a classic inlay look. Special 16 inch design and a body that allows any player to play comfortably.

The 2.5″ thick body and trestle bracing are designed to effectively resist feedback. Grover® Imperial™ locking tuners and string-thru Bigsby® make maintenance easy, and the instrument’s classic look and feel is enhanced by a master volume control with a 3-way tone switch and treble bleed switch that’s intuitive and smooth. This allows you to switch sounds that can be amplified to meet the needs of today’s players.

Available in traditional white and modern black. The white version features the TV Jones Classic for a vintage sound, while the black version features the TV Jones Power’Tron for a more powerful sound.
