Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Josh Middleton’s JM-I is a single-cutaway electric guitar with one Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic humbucker at the bridge. Its tone control uses a push-pull function to access different pickup voices, giving the single-pickup layout multiple electronic settings. The guitar pairs an alder body and quilted maple top with a bolt-on three-piece roasted maple neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard. A recessed Gotoh TOM bridge with string-through-body construction and 24 stainless-steel extra-jumbo frets round out the hardware.
