Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The G6136T-59 Vintage Select ’59 Falcon is a right-handed maple hollowbody with an arched three-ply top, maple back and sides, and 1959-style trestle bracing. Two TV Jones Classic humbuckers divide duties between a focused bridge voice and a warm, rounded neck voice; individual pickup volumes and a three-way toggle let you set their balance. Its Bigsby B6GVT tailpiece adds pitch movement, while the U-shaped maple neck, 12-inch-radius ebony board, and 22 medium-jumbo frets support chord work, bends, and single-note lines.
