Fret King Black Label Country Squire Music Row, Gloss Black

Full Description

A unique blend of pickups

Armed with a unique set of pickups, the Fret King can create a vast array of classic tones. These abundant old school sonics stem from a vintage voiced hum-cancelling single coil "pair" at the neck, a high output Dallas Special middle single coil, and a hot wound, tap-able bridge pickup. Each position offers you a distinctive tonal character to explore, and, combined with two in between "out of phase" modes, there's an unending bounty of blues, country, and rock sounds to uncover.

Starting at the syrupy, thick cadence of the single coil neck pair, you have access to a defined, twang-rich tune. Flick on to the middle to enjoy a balanced response with a touch more grit, able to purr with clean chords or growl with crunchy leads alike. And finally, select the tap-able bridge pickup to unleash razor-sharp sounds that will slice straight through a mix.

And best of all, these pickups have been configured with the player in mind, as they're selectable through an ergonomically positioned 5-way switch. This handy placement makes it a breeze to quickly switch between pickups at a moment's notice.

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 Row 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 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 an enjoy an accurate action that's eminently comfortable.

Choice hardware selection for a reliable performance

Guaranteeing you a stable performance. The Country Squire Music Row'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 ensure a friction-free hold on your strings, meaning every string will ring out with a clear vocality, free from any 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 three pieces of selected American alder, the Fret King Country Row 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.
