Midwesterner
The Midwesterner is intended to be a simple but versatile instrument that will be useful in a variety of styles of music. While lower priced, my commitment to playability and tone on this model will still be uncompromised. The P90 in the rear delivers a biting raw sound, while the custom Fralin single coil neck pup has a warm, old school jazz tone when played clean, and a sweet whine when turned up. It is the good cop to the P90′s bad cop.
Base price : $1,475.00
