Catalog Description | | | | | | | | |
LG-200T Highly polished black finish body, hardwood neck with 24 frets. Four high-fidelity pickups in two channels for stereo performance with technical selector switches. Volume and tone controls, and two input jacks for two individual speakers. Tremolo and reverberation switch and remote-control input jack. Stereo-Mono switch. Adjustable bridge for each string. Easy movement tremolo tailpiece. Artistically plied celluloid guard-plate. | | | | | | | | |
Notes: The Guyatone LG-200T requires a Y cable to accept both front output jacks in order to take advantage of all pickups and tones. The back output feeds to an external reverb or tremolo unit remote controlled by guitar switching circuit. | | | | | | | | |
