The Korena take

The Caleb Shomo Phoenix pairs a mahogany single-cutaway body and quilted maple top with a neck-thru, three-piece mahogany Thin U neck. Its 22 extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets sit on a Macassar ebony fingerboard. Seymour Duncan supplies the Custom 14 bridge pickup and STR-3 Quarter Pound neck pickup; a 3-way toggle and push-pull Tone control put coil-split operation at hand. Finished in Vintage Natural with gold hardware, it is a right-handed, six-string guitar with locking bridge and tailpiece hardware.
