This Starplayer TV Phonic VW is a seriously gorgeous instrument. The combination of the spruce top and maple body gives it a warm, resonant tone with plenty of character, and the unique pickup combination offers a surprising amount of versatility. It's perfect for players seeking a semi-hollow with vintage vibe and a touch of modern flair - think jazz, blues, and classic rock.
