The Blues Queen
“As the name implies, this guitar with its semi hollowbody and P-90 pickups can really sing the Blues. Turned up all the way, the Blues Queen will growl but backed off it has a bell like tone that is great for Jazz.
Its unique design features a through neck hollowbody without F-holes. Mahogany adds a woodiness and the Maple top adds clarity and sustain. With the through neck hollowbody design we’ve found that the Fralin P-90′s wound with Alnico II magnets work beautifully.
