Fret King

Founded by Trev Wilkinson in the 1990’s, Fret King reflected Wilkinson’s design concept’s that integrated his passion for traditional American guitar builders, the flair of the European guitar builders and Trev’s passion for the curves of the Automobile industry.

Offering high quality componentry, the best tone woods and top draw build quality, the Fret King brand grew from it’s original Green label series which was solely UK built custom shop instruments into the blue and black label ranges, these ranges at lower price points to the original models were manufactured by the leading overseas builders in both Korea and the Czech Republic.

Wilkinson’s innovations and reputation soon attracted a host of talented artists with signature instruments for Jerry Donahue, John Jorgensen, Geoff Whitehorn, Greg Wright, John Verity and John Etheridge created by Wilkinson in collaboration with the artist.
