FRET KING Green Label
Ventura 60
IN STOCK
Hand Built In the UK
RRP £ 1699
Daring to look different, the Fret-King Ventura could be a styling studio prototype straight out of the 60’s. 
Ventura makes a statement about your individuality – working live, on stage or in the studio! 
As Trev observes, “Unlike some of the guitars from way back then however, the unique offset Ventura design benefits from hardware and pickups that actually work!”
“You’ll sound great and stay in tune on stage or in the studio, with a winning combination of function, style and sound in one cool package.”
The Fret-King Ventura features a two-piece centre-jointed American alder body and Fret-King’s 60’s profile rock maple neck, with 22 fret, 25 1/2" scale length and 10" radius rosewood fingerboard

FRET KING Green Label
Country Squire Semitone
IN STOCK
Hand Built In the UK
RRP £ 1829

With the Fret-King Country Squire we have taken the liberty of respectfully raising the bar, with a 22-fret neck with medium jumbo frets, in one-piece maple, with a deliciously comfortable 60’s shallow ‘C’ profile. The neck utilises a 10” fingerboard radius to facilitate easier string bending, with a slinky, fast, playing action.
In stock mode, the neck mounted humbucker uses only the front coil, giving the selection of sounds expected from this iconic style of guitar; pulling up on the tone control, switches the neck pickup to full humbucking mode, essentially creating two guitars in one.
The fully intonatable Wilkinson® WT3 bridge rounds out a true professional instrument.
An exceptionally versatile ‘workhorse’ for country, blues or rock.

FRET KING Supermatic
IN STOCK
RRP £ 1399
Built with all the hallmark Fret-King® style and attributes, the Super-Matic™ is a very cool looking beast, cut from matched, two piece centre jointed American Alder, using heritage styling cues to create a subtly nuanced classic double cut body, with cosmetics redolent of the shared history with which we are all so familiar.
The 25 1/2" scale length, 24 fret, Hard Rock Maple neck, with it's classic 'Shallow C' profile, matched to a premium, close grain Indian Rosewood fingerboard with a 10" radius, finished off with an immaculate fret job, using single cut, hand crowned medium jumbo nickel silver frets assures precision, comfort and provides a playing experience which can only be described as luxurious.
The Super-matic™ features a Hum-single-Hum pickup configuration, with Wilkinson WHHBZ33 offset pole piece 'Zebra' humbuckers, wound to a very authentic recipe and a Wilkinson WHSM 'vintage voiced' single coil middle pickup.
The combination of carefully voiced and balanced pickups, and the signature Wilkinson 'Vari-coil' control, (which allows either of the humbuckers to be progressively wound down to single coil), creates an instrument with an exceptionally versatile palette of sounds capable of literally any musical style.

FRET KING JD Black Label Signature
IN STOCK
RRP £599
The Black Label JD guitar really comes into its own in the sound department. Powered by two specially designed, custom-wired Wilkinson single coil pickups, the five-way selector switch allows a multitude of tones, gleaning the best of the classic tones associated with three of the most iconic, benchmark guitar designs into one instrument. Position ONE: This neck pickup yields the rich, sparkling tone of the traditional three-pickup guitar. The result: that unmistakable single-coil sound that echoes the soaring, majestic blues tones of the '60s and '70s. Position TWO: The neck pickup (now with a special cap engaged), affords this position a special tonal quality you would ordinarily expect to hear from a full-body jazz guitar! Engage an overdrive and you capture that classic late '60s "Woman Tone". Position THREE: The neck and bridge pickups are in a customised parallel wiring, producing an enhanced, more contemporary version of the customary middle position timbre on the classic two-pickup guitar. Position FOUR: By combining both pickups with a capacitor and resistor in a controlled degree of reversed phase, this position offers the popular "in-between quack tone" found in this position on three-pickup guitars. Position FIVE: This is an updated stock-style bridge pickup with symmetrically staggered pole pieces for great string balance and a special wind for increased sustain. It captures that amazing gutsy lead sound found on the very best of those traditional two-pickup guitars!
