Fret King Country Squire Classic, Original Classic Burst

Full Description

Vocal and powerful pickups

Explore a huge wealth of classic sonics. The Country Squire Classic equips you with two highly versatile pickups to unlock a vast library of tones. Boasting a glistening high end at the bridge Tapped-Fifty pickup and a rich, syrupy twang at the neck Staggertwin humbucker, you'll enjoy distinctive tonal characters at each position.

But that's not all, because each of the pickups are joined by Fret-King's Varicoil switching that progressively alters the sound of each pickup. On the humbucker you can move down to a single coil output for those rich, syrupy twangs. And at the bridge you can add in additional winds to take the sonics from gentle, '50s style purrs through to a searing contemporary crunch for an extended dynamic toolkit.

Quality playing feel

Ultra-responsive. It's the kind of playing feel that makes it hard to put down because it's just so addictive. Boasting a lightly oiled, hard rock maple neck that's carved into a soft "C" backshape, the Country Squire is supremely comfortable. It provides a sleek, frictionless feel that makes manoeuvring around the scales an easy task.

That's accompanied by a premium Indian rosewood for smooth and seamless fretting. Shaped into a 10" radius for a modern approach, it's suited to both complex chords and expressive lead runs. Complete with medium profile, high durability nickel fret wires, you'll enjoy an eminently comfortable and precise playing action.

Choice hardware selection

Guaranteeing you a stable performance. The Country Squire Classic's remarkable tones and deft playability are backed up by a choice selection of hardware to ensure consistency every time you play.

At the headstock are set of Wilkinson WJ05 machine heads to provide quick and accurate tune-ups with maximum stability. And beneath those sits a self-lubricating Graph Tech nut which ensures a friction-free hold on your strings, meaning every string will ring out with a clear vocality, free from irritating buzz.

And at the base is a unique Wilkinson WTB bridge that serves to elevate your tone and enhance the stability of your performance. Designed in a string-through fashion to ensure a pronounced sustain, and hosting barrel style natural brass saddles that are pre-intonated for spot on tuning, it provides the dependable action you need to perform at your best.

A sturdy, player-friendly body

Constructed from two pieces of selected American alder, the Fret King Country Squire is light, nimble, and supremely resonant. The characteristics of alder help transfer all the detail of your string vibrations to the pickups, enabling the full tone of your playing to be heard through the amp.

And aside from its tonal qualities, Fret King have made sure that this body is sculpted to accommodate any player. Ergonomic contours make it easy to hold, while a reduced neck profile allows for unhindered access at the upper frets.

Gig bag included

Get on the road without any hassle. Keeping your instrument pristine is the priority for any performer, and Fret King understands this! That's why the Country Squire Classic includes a luxury gig bag to keep it factory fresh throughout its lifetime.
