Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built around Josh Smith’s signature design, the FLATV1 pairs an ash single-cutaway body with a roasted maple neck and fingerboard shaped to a Soft V profile. Its two vintage-style Seymour Duncan Flat 5 single-coils are described as bright and full-bodied, with a 3-way selector, master volume, and master tone keeping control straightforward. A Gotoh F1803 fixed bridge and Gotoh machine heads complete the hardware, and a hardshell case is part of the package.
