Inspired by and derived from G290 FAT, the G290 Limited Edition was developed with an idea to explore the opposite side of G290 FAT. Same boutique design, session-style guitar concept with Voiced Tone VTH-77 humbucker set and hardware are kept but the body and neck wood has been switched to mahogany, and with the addition of ebony fingerboard the G290 LE is the tonal opposite of G290 FAT with warmer, thicker tones that is distinctive on guitars with mahogany body and neck.
