Fret King Country Squire Stealth, Gloss Black Overview
The Fret Country Squire Stealth is a gorgeous guitar with sleek aesthetics and a remarkable sonic trick up its sleeve. It hosts two custom designed single coil pickups that offer a pitch perfect old school voicing. But that's not all! Because with the flick of a switch you can access a hum-cancelled output that's thicker and more pronounced thanks to pair of under-pickguard phantom coils that accompany each pickup.
The classic sonics of the Country Squire are bolstered by an inviting playability that'll make it hard to put down. With a vintage body shape that's carved for comfort and joined to a lightly oiled, hard rock maple neck in a soft "C" shape, the Stealth presents the ultimate in playing ease. Not only that, but Wilkinson designed tuners and bridge components team with a self-lubricating Graph Tech nut to deliver a highly stable and reliable performance.

But that's not all, because each of the pickups are joined by switchable auxiliary Bukkacoil phantom coils.
