Fret-King Atelier Ventura 60 Coral Red (ex-demo) - Made in the UK
This is a one-off guitar, hand built in Trevor Wilkinson's workshop in Stockport, UK. It's an ex-demo guitar so there are some minor surface scratches and a couple of dings (see pics of headstock) Can't say enough good things about the guitar's playability though. This is a seriously good guitar! Includes Fret-king Hiscox case.
About the Fret-king Atelier Ventura 60:
As Trev observes, "Unlike some of the guitars from way back then however, the unique offset Ventura design benefits from hardware and pickups that actually work!"
"You'll sound great and stay in tune on stage or in the studio, with a winning combination of function, style and sound in one cool package." By utilising an original spec, small diameter truss rod, there is a much greater ratio of wood-to-metal, retaining all that elusive `vintage tone'. Superb quality Gotoh Magnum locking tuners replicate the style and light weight of the original Klusonᄄ tuning keys. Height-adjustable tuning posts provide the perfect break angle for each individual string to rest in the self-lubricating Wilkaloid top nut, ensuring absolute minimum string friction. These unique tuners also feature posts which lock automatically as the strings are brought up to pitch, eliminating excess string winds, making string changing a breeze and keeping your guitar in tune even with heavy vibrato use.
Keeping a vintage guitar in tune can be a nightmare, so all Green Label Ventura guitars are fitted with the Wilkinson VSV high-performance vintage vibrato system you will not believe the tuning stability of the VSV. It really is the icing on the cake.
