Atelier™ Series Beyond even the excellence of Fret-King Green Label Series, Trev Wilkinson, working in the Fret-King workshop - a beautiful atelier space in an elegant Victorian building in the North West of England - crafts the occasional extra special, unique 'Atelier' Fret-King guitar, based upon stock Fret-King Green Label designs, as an expression of his own personal style - and to show what can be done when the creative process is allowed to break free of the bounds of conformity and employ stunning custom finishes.
STVDIO™ Series Exotic and truly unique, UK-built Fret-King STVDIO Series instruments can be many things; a particular combination of esoteric specifications, or materials; it can be rare and beautiful tonewoods, or an embellishment of precious metal, an experimental pickup configuration or switching, a new take on a body shape, but whatever, whilst hovering between the boundaries of master-built musical instruments, exclusive luxury goods, and art, a Fret-King STVDIO Series guitar is the embodiment of the imagination of the Fret-King styling studio, and will always be an awe-inspiring and highly desirable object of beauty. No Fret-King ‘Atelier’ or ‘STVDIO’ Series guitar will ever be repeated exactly, and the discerning few who will own one will have a peerless and very collectable player’s guitar.
