Here for sale we have a Fret King Country Squire Semitone De Luxe in Original Classical Burst. Made in India in 2020 this guitar features an Alder body, HardRock Maple neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include Wilkinson WJ05 pin-lock locking machine heads and Wilkinson WVT bridge. A trio of Fret King pickups are installed in a HSH configuration with a Alnico V Focusfield in the neck, Dallas Special in the middle and Powertwin in the bridge. These are wired to a 5-way pickup selector, master volume and stacked tone controls. The outer knob controls the master tone while the inner control progressively rolls the neck or bridge humbucker from double coil to single coil.
The Hard Rock Maple neck plays well, with the Soft 'C' profile providing a comforting feel whilst remaining slim enough for articulate playing. The Satin finish to the rear is pleasant to the touch and assists with smooth navigation of the 25.5" scale. The Rosewood fingerboard with its 10" radius delivers a well rounded playing experience whilst retaining modern practicality for string bending and vibrato techniques, further enhanced by the Medium Jumbo frets. The classically designed body contours sit comfortably against the body, whilst the single cutaway provides excellent access to the upper frets.
The unique pickup and switching combination offer a plethora of tones, offering a single coil middle pickup and humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions. With a stacked tone pot, unique pickup selections and Fret-King's unique Varicoil control, this guitar is perfect for a whole range of styles, making for a hugely versatile instrument that easily meets the needs of the modern working musician.
