K-Line Guitars

K-Line Gutiars

For many guitarists a lot of time, energy, and money is invested in searching.  Searching for something elusive; a tone, a quality, an undefined specter that shifts shape and form on an almost daily basis.  Something that inspires and overwhelms the senses with overtones and sustain, classic appeal but modern functionality, maybe something that was once owned but no longer.  Enter K-Line Guitars. 

K-Line Guitars are dedicated to helping guitarists end the search for that elusive instrument.  Maybe it was a guitar owned in the 60’s that is yearned for and maybe it’s a boutique instrument that inspires creativity and emotional bonding with music.  Whatever it is the guitarist seeks, K-Line has a guitar to fill the need.  Based on timeless vintage instruments, each and every K-Line guitar is meticulously built and inspected to insure the highest quality instrument they can possibly put into the hands of a guitarist.  K-Line Guitars is a company dedicated to the musician, not the dollar.  Their love and passion for electric guitar translates into every instrument they build.  To inspire passion and creativity is a lofty goal, one gracefully achieved by K-Line Guitars.

Each K-Line Guitar is a platform for creativity.  Built in the tradition of time-honored tradition of classic American electric guitars, they have used their extensive knowledge and attention to detail to take on the challenge of providing vintage tone and aesthetic while meeting the needs of the modern guitarist.  Every guitar is finished in a thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish in period correct colors.  Some are aged with a proprietary process to appear well loved and played while others are given the Time Kapsule treatment of appearing to have sat in a hard case in the closet for 50 years.  Either style results in a thin skin finish that has been allowed to settle into the grain while still letting the resonance and tone of the select woods to shine through like a beacon in the night. 

The finish is not the only thing that sets these guitars apart.  Taking their cues from the needs of modern guitar professionals, K-Line spends hours refining each neck from the comfortable contour to the rolled edges and meticulous fretwork.  Combine this with modern hardware and boutique pickups and a K-Line guitar will deliver the classic tone and style while providing stable tuning and easy playing.

K-Line San Bernardino

The K-Line San Bernardino is a fantastic take on a classic offset body design.  The comfy contours and larger body coupled with the unique K-Line neck results in a dream-like playing experience where notes just seem to float off the guitar without even trying.  Since they are dedicated to function as well as form, the K-Line San Bernardino features an adjustable bridge with a stop tailpiece that provides tone and resonance instead of an outdated floating tremolo system.  Pickup configurations vary per customer request but the K-Line San Bernardino is available with dual P-90’s, dual Firebird, dual mini-buckers, or dual full sized humbuckers and either Lollar or Klein models are standard.  The K-Line San Bernardino is a JM lover’s dream guitar that outplays, outperforms, and exceeds the tonal standards set by the original model.

K-Line Truxton

The K-Line Truxton takes the classic early American single cut guitar to another level of bliss.  This classic instrument is known for its signature “twang” and warm rhythm tones but one major drawback of this 60 year old classic was the lack of proper intonation.  The K-Line Truxton has solved this issue as well as providing a more balanced and playable instrument by using the proper tonewoods and having custom made bridges with a thicker base and custom made, rolled brass, compensated saddles.  These saddles allow for proper intonation and the rolling process of the brass provides a warm, still twangy tone that resonates and sustains properly as well as leaving the overtones intact for unparalleled harmonic response.  Available in two models, the Vintage and the Special, the K-Line Truxton is loaded with either Klein or Lollar traditional single-coils on the Vintage model, or P-90’s on the Special model.  This classic instrument has finally achieved the state of perfection it deserves.  Like all K-Line guitars, the K-Line Truxton features rolled fretboard edges, thin nitro finish, and a custom neck profile that is perfect for any style of playing.
