Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Richard Fortus' black Signature Falcon pairs a double-cutaway laminated maple body with a chambered spruce center block that reinforces its arched laminated top and addresses unwanted feedback at higher performance volume. Its U-shaped maple neck and ebony fingerboard are described for easy playability, sustain, deep bends, and lead work. Custom Wound Filter'Tron pickups occupy the neck and bridge positions, while the three-way switch, treble-bleed master volume, and no-load master tone give the player direct control over pickup selection and tone shaping.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Higher-volume performance where the chambered spruce center block is intended to reduce unwanted feedback.
- Moving between neck, bridge, and combined-pickup sounds with the three-way toggle.
- Lead-focused playing that uses the U-shaped maple neck and ebony fingerboard for deep bends.
