Hi Biggles Jet
Thats a shame ,what Trev did for me was a one off I am affraid.To get a Vantique guard for your super 60 you would end you up with two guitars.....but thats not a bad thing ! LOL you can never have to many guitars.
How are you liking the guitar?After Trev set my Super S up I have never had a guitar like it ,you can have Strat tone from neck and middle and pure Tele from the bridge.I find it hard to believe its not a custom made guitar the quality from the East is amazing these days.I noticed the Super S through watching a Telecaster DVD, Chantelle McGregor was playing it and I was hooked.Met Chantelle in Aberdeen when she was gigging she is a great lass and a phenomenal talent, check her out on you tube.
Have a wonderful New Year
Regards Dave

Hi Dave
Thanks for yor reply,seasonal greets to you and your family,have a happy new year.
I love this F/K Mate best thing since sliced bread for me.
To be honest I own 4 Vintage LP style guitars that Trevs hardware adorns and I am not supprised at all that the range of Fret Kings are so good.
To be able to buy a Vintage guitar for a few hundred quid and have them play like a  much more expensive one is fantastic,When I was a lad a cheap guitar was a nasty plank that would'nt stay in tune for more than one song and would be better used as a cricket bat,we have come a long way thanks to guys like Trev.
My next venture maybe an Eclat, shhhhhhh ,dont let the wife hear!

best regards to you all

Technically we don't sell Vintique guards as they are only usually available as a custom option when a Green Label or Atelier series guitar is built.
They are not an option usually for other ranges of Fret-King guitars.
(Stvdio guitars are completely custom one off guitars, so cannot be ordered)

This all said, as per the above instance, it can be done at a later date, but it requires the whole guitar to be sent to our workshop here in Southport. We would only really do it under certain circumstances due to the logistics. It is more usual to have these type of custom options on higher spec Green Label and Atelier instruments.

Enjoy your Fret-Kings!
