Center Block

The G6137TCB is equipped with a center block that runs along the length of its body and increases its sonic potential considerably. First of all, it reduces body-resonant feedback, allowing for a great high-gain performance. The center block is made of spruce, which adds a lively tone to the overall sound of the instrument, and is chambered at the lower bout to reduce the overall weight. Finally, the pinned wood base of the bridge extends over the sides of the center block, which benefits the transfer of string vibrations to the sound holes, resulting in a great, full-bodied tone.

Other characteristics

The neck of the G6137TCB Panther is made of 3-ply maple and its rosewood fingerboard is equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets. Two High Sensitive Filter'Tron pickups, located at bridge and neck, allow for three different configurations and each has its own volume knob. A master volume knob is also at your disposal and a jack output located on the top enables you to connect the guitar directly to an amplifier. The G6137TCB Panther Center-Block Double Cutaway BK is supplied with a rugged G6267 Deluxe Hardshell guitar case.
