Throughout the history of rock'n'roll, guitars like the Country Squire have been at the heart of so many musical genres; country, soul, blues, rock, jazz and more.
The Country Squire range is Fret-King's nod to the guitar that started it all!
With the Fret-King Stvdio Country Squire, we have taken the liberty of respectfully raising the bar, with a 22-fret neck with medium jumbo frets, in a maple/rosewood combination with a deliciously comfortable 60s shallow C profile.
The neck utilises a 10" fingerboard radius to facilitate easier string bending, with a slinky, fast, playing action.
By utilising an original spec small diameter truss rod, there is a much greater ratio of wood to metal, all contributing to keeping the vintage tone you would expect from this style of guitar.
Improving on a classic original is hard to do, but we just had to try. This model features twin vintage-voiced humbuckers for a beefier tone, and a Wilkinson WVS50 vibrato system.
In addition to all the enhancements above, the Fret-King Country Squire features a two-piece centre-jointed swamp ash body, and as the name suggests, is as real as it gets!
