Fret-King Country Squire Music Row ~ Laguna Blue - FKV24LB
FKV24LB
Upending the norm and setting new benchmarks is the Country Squire Music Row™, named after that oh-so famous district of Nashville Tennessee, which is home to some of the best players, producers and studios ever, and where some of the greatest music in modern times has been written, performed, and recorded.
In the studio, and on stage, performers need finesse, versatility, power, reliability, and an instrument that will let them cover a whole gamut of rock and country tones. Twin neck mounted Fret-King Country Road™ single coils, a mid-mounted Dallas Special™ and bridge mounted Tapped-Fifty™, let the Music Row segue effortlessly between classic ‘50’s tone, to "Southern Hot" and with the five way and Varicoil™ take on the mantle of any style which needs melodious neck twin coil sounds, brilliant highs with a ton of warm, sweet twang, and out of phase ‘in between’ tones.

The five way allows for all the usual permutations including the classic out of phase settings, and then some.
