Description Brand: Fender MPN: USED005006 0968601221
The Kingman ASCE was released earlier this year, and not only recalls Fender's past acoustic dabblings in name – Kingman was first used in 1966 – and in that headstock and logo, but also the mid-to-late 60s-style block inlays and bound fingerboard on a maple neck. Unlike the original, it's not a bolt-on – thankfully! – but a more conventional build with a tidy acoustic-style heel.Okay, cutaway dreadnoughts aren't exactly rare in this market, but along with all that Fender mojo we have a very tidily built box with a clean solid spruce top and nicely grained solid mahogany sides. The internal X-bracing is scalloped and there are internal side supports to prevent splitting. A bone nut and compensated saddle are nice details at this price, as is the Three-colour Sunburst gloss finish off-set by gold plastic-faced pickguard.The Kingman's scale length is slightly below Fender's standard at 643mm (25.3 inches) but the chunky rounded profile, Gibson-like 305mm fingerboard radius, not to mention the bound edges and vintage-style small frets give the guitar quite an electric- like feel. This is reinforced by a relatively narrow nut width (42.7mm) and Fender-standard string-spacing at the 'Viking' bridge of 55mm. Put it this way, if you own a Fender electric, the Kingman is going to feel like home.
