The Korena take

The G6122T-59 Country Gentleman is a right-handed hollowbody electric with a TV Jones Super’Tron at the neck and Super’Tron Classic Plus at the bridge. Dedicated volume controls for each pickup work with master volume and tone controls, giving you a direct way to set their blend. A maple U-shaped neck, 1.75-inch nut, 25.5-inch scale, and 22-fret ebony fingerboard define the playing layout. Its pinned rocking bar bridge is matched to a Bigsby B6GWVT vibrato tailpiece, and a hardshell case is included.
