HIGHLIGHTS:
Maple Top with Chambered Mahogany Body
The Limited Edition Champagne Sparkle Penguin™ features an arched maple top and a mahogany body with modern chambering, which magnifies harmonic richness by letting air resonate between the top and body for a livelier and more articulate tone.
TV Jones Pickups
The TV Jones® TV Classic™ neck pickup provides clean, compressed highs and mids with a tight and controlled low-end, while the TV Classic Plus™ bridge pickup brings a little more attitude to the party with a slightly rounder top end and higher output, making this a versatile combination that can cover a lot of sonic territory.
Versatile Controls
