The two-piece centre jointed chambered body is constructed from selected American alder. The body, with its vintage edge radiuses casts a classic shadow. The unique reduced profile neck joint and subtly extended cutaway offers enhanced upper fret access, and the superb overall balance makes the Semitone De Luxe a pleasure to wear. A solid four bolt neck joint ensures the constructional and mechanical integrity which provides a platform for the great light and airy sustain characteristics and emblematic tonalities of the Country Squire Semitone De Luxe.

In line with Fret-King’s philosophy of thoughtful innovation, the Semitone De Luxe is loaded with a visually striking, and tonally diverse set of Fret-King pickups which deliver a phenomenal range of tones. The custom designed Fret-King neck position Alnico V Focusfield™ mini double coil pickups, created by Trev Wilkinson, speak authoratively, with a clearly defined focus, authentic tonality, depth and power. In the mid position Fret-King Dallas Special™ hot single coil is redolent of the outer edge of the single coil pickup voice, feeding in power with great dynamic control. The trio is completed by the bridge mounted Powertwin™ a hot double coil of immense capability.
• Ergonomic five-way lever switch selects neck, middle or bridge pickup, with hum cancelled out of phase setting in positions two and four. Tone pot is a push pull with coil taps on the humbuckers.

Apologies if this may cause offence, but I am fed up with messages asking “what’s my best price?” etc. Thanks for your understanding
Happy to post but I am 7 minutes from M5 Jct 3 & 10 mins from M5 Jct 4. If you wish to collect, or can meet up for 20p per mile.
