Pickups & Electronics

Double-cutaway body shape introduced. Cherry Red finish available alongside TV Yellow.
Collector's Notes
TV Yellow (Limed Mahogany) finish is the most collected. Verify original P-90 pickups and wrap-over bridge. Single-cutaway models (1955-1957) command premium over double-cutaway.
