Buyers with fewer than 10 purchases and/or less than 100% feedback should contact me prior to bidding. Collection in person is welcome, but cash payment on collection will be required due to PayPal guarantees not being valid for such transactions. Thank You.Built with all the hallmark Fret-King style and attributes, the Super-matic is a very cool looking beast, cut from matched, two piece centre jointed American Aldr, using heritage styling cues to create a subtly nuanced classic double cut body, with cosmetics redolent of the shared history with which we are all so familiar.The 25 1/5” scale length, 24 fret, Hard Rock Mapl neck, with it’s classic ‘Shallow C’ profile, matched to a premium, close grain Indian Rose fingerboard with a 10” radius, finished off with an immaculate fret job, using single cut, hand crowned medium jumbo nickel silver frets assures precision, comfort and provides a playing experience which can only be described as luxurious.The Super-matic features a Hum-Single-Hum pickup configuration, with Fret-King WHHBZ33 offset pole piece ‘Zebra’ double coils, wound to a very authentic recipe and a Fret-King WHSM ‘vintage voiced’ single coil middle pickup.The combination of carefully voiced and balanced pickups, and the signature Fret-King 'Vari-coil’ control, (which allows either of the double coils to be progressively wound down to single coil), creates an instrument with an exceptionally versatile palette of sounds capable of literally any musical style.Available in either Black or Original Classic Burst, complete with Fret-King hard shell carry case, the ATD loaded Fret-King Super-matic sets a whole new benchmark and opens up a host of new musical possibilities to expand any player’s performance horizons, and creativity.The Wilkinson ATD self-tuning bridge, which has been under development by Trev and his team over many years, is a super low profile, real time electro-mechanical device utilising ultra hi-tech micro gearboxes, with a micro hex pickup, controls small enough not to notice, and an intuitive one touch button controlling all the functions and features of this truly incredible device.Invisibly incorporating the microprocessor control circuitry, the ATD bridge allows the player, with just one touch of the function button to automatically tune the Super-matic to standard E-tuning. Tuning status is confirmed in the hi-visibility display, designed to be viewed whilst playing, and overall tuning is assured with the built in chromatic tuner.Press the function button again, strum, and let the ATD change the guitars tuning from standard E to open G, or change to DADGAD, then to open D - all in the space of just a few seconds, or recalibrate to five additional 'user created' tuning presets in just a few seconds more.The guitar comes complete with a dedicated deluxe hardshell lined caseList Price: £1199> Read the reviews by , , , , and .> Colour Gloss Black Body American alde Neck Hard rock mapl bolt on Scratch Plate Yes Scale 25.5”/648mm Frets 24 medium jumbo Inlays Pearl dots Nut Width 1.67"/42.5mm nominal Nut Graphite Tuners Wilkinson Bridge Wilkinson ATD HT440 with Micro Hex Magnetic Sensor Pickups 2 x Fret-King WHHBZ33 Zebra Double Coils (B/N), 1 x Fret-King WHSM Single Coil Controls Volume, Tone, Vari-coil (Humbuckers), 5-way Selector.
