Welcome to Green Label

“Fret-King® Green Label series™ guitars and basses are hand-built in my workshops on the U.K’s West Coast, to painstaking, faultless standards of perfection.”

Produced in very limited numbers, Fret-King Green Label series epitomises the excellence of world-class guitar building.

Brought to life by the touch and finesse of a select handful of master builders, Green Label series represents the quintessence of luxury, the zenith of build quality and the embodiment of ultimate tone.

“...Looking good is one thing, and these guitars do look good,” comments Trev, “but feeling and sounding great is paramount...”

Classic tonewoods, classic tone, classic guitars.

“...We start by hand-selecting and matching korina, mahogany, maple, rosewood and alder, the same classic timbers used today, as in the beginning, for their fundamental contribution to stability and tone...”

Pickups.

“...If tonewoods are the soul of a guitar, then the pickups are the voice. Play a Fret-King and you’ll discover how each pickup, and pickup configuration is carefully matched to the construction of each guitar to produce the ultimate combination of power, tone and clarity...”

Controls and wiring.

“...We take great care and attention in selecting the components used in the circuitry. Matching potentiometer values and utilising quality switches and wire is of equal importance to any of the processes employed in building the ultimate guitar...”

Hardware and parts.

“...Last but by no means least the hardware; having a great looking, great sounding guitar is just not enough. I’ve spent a lifetime researching the subtle, nuanced differences, the smallest points of detail in materials and manufacture can make to
functionality, tone and ergonomics...”

“...Each piece of hardware has been designed and selected to enhance playability, be comfortable to use and perform in a ‘real-world’ on-stage environment to produce the best ‘players guitars’ in the world...”

Enjoy.
