HIGHLIGHTS:

Redesigned Channel Core™ Center Block

Combining a maple top layer and spruce bottom layer with a more focused chambering design, the redesigned Channel Core™ center block provides faster note attack and enhanced midrange punch that takes the Falcon Center Block to a whole new level.

Refined Body Design with Deeper Cutaways

The Falcon Center Block features a refined body design with deeper cutaways that greatly improve access to the upper frets resulting in better playability and a more effortless experience.

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.

Maple Neck with Rolled Fingerboard

A 12"-radius ebony fingerboard with rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets tops a 24.6"-scale maple neck with a comfortably familiar standard "U"-shaped profile for smooth playability, while the glow in the dark Luminlay® side dots offer precision fretting in low-light settings.
