HIGHLIGHTS:

Maple Top with Chambered Mahogany Body

The Limited Edition Paisley Penguin™ features an arched maple top and a mahogany body with modern chambering, which magnifies harmonic richness by letting air resonate between the top and body for a livelier and more articulate tone.

TV Jones Pickups

The TV Jones® TV Classic™ neck pickup provides clean, compressed highs and mids with a tight and controlled low-end, while the TV Classic Plus™ bridge pickup brings a little more attitude to the party with a slightly rounder top end and higher output, making this a versatile combination that can cover a lot of sonic territory.

Versatile Controls

The combination of individual pickup volume controls, master no-load tone and master volume with treble bleed circuit provides intuitive global control over your pickup and tone settings.

Limited Edition Aesthetics

The Limited Edition Paisley Penguin™ features an exclusive gold paisley top finish with gold edge burst, adorned with gold hardware, matching gold pickguard and pickup bezels, jeweled G-Arrow control knobs, and a gold metallic "winged" headstock logo to create a look and style as big and unmistakable as its sound.
