Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Private Stock John McLaughlin pairs a maple top and mahogany back with a hormigo neck and African blackwood fretboard. Its unfinished neck uses clear grain filler for a smooth, natural-feeling surface, while the high-gloss nitro body finish gives the instrument its Charcoal Phoenix presentation. TCI pickups with American Alnico feed a familiar volume, tone, and three-way layout. Two additional mini toggles engage tuned high-pass filters, offering a direct way to reduce shelved low end and bring more high-frequency clarity into the signal.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who want on-guitar high-pass filter options alongside a standard three-way pickup selector.
- Fast lead lines and complex chord work where the hormigo neck’s note separation is a priority.
