Its double-cutaway hollow and bound body resonates with full bass tone and balance, and features sound-post bracing and elegant bound F-holes. Other features include a maple neck, bound rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets and hump-block pearloid inlays, three-position pickup switch, classic "G" arrow control knobs, rosewood-based four-saddle Adjusto-Matic bridge and "G"-cutout tailpiece.
