K-Line Guitars
In the never-ending search that most guitarists face there is finally an oasis of qualities that most players seek in a guitar. That oasis is K-Line Guitars. The professional craftsmen at K-Line dedicate themselves whole-heartedly to providing the modern guitarist with an instrument of unparalleled quality with features that allow the modern guitarist to enjoy the vintage tone they crave without the drawbacks of a vintage instrument. Each and every K-Line guitar is painstakingly assembled and set up by Chris Kroenlein himself who is known for his meticulous quality control ensuring the best possible playing experience right out of the box.
Keeping with the appeal of a vintage aesthetic, all K-Line Guitars are finished in a thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish that is allowed to settle into the grain for a period correct vibe that allows the tonal qualities and resonance of the wood to come through. This truly highlights the select wood choices made when building an instrument and insures that no guitar they build has any artificial tonal qualities. All finishes offered are historically accurate colors and K-Line refuses to finish any guitar with a urethane undercoat. Each guitar is available in one of two finish packages, the Closet Klassic which is a lightly aged appearance and the Time Kapsule which has the appearance of having sat in the case for 50 years but is not aged. The Time Kapsule provides a stunning look of an old, perfect finish with shiny new hardware. Heavy aging is available by special order as well.
In order to provide the ultimate playing experience, each K-Line guitar features upgraded hardware, from custom stamped ashtray bridges with compensated brass saddles on the T-style instruments to Gotoh TOM and Wilkinson vintage tremolos depending on the model. Each guitar is also fitted with top of the line, boutique pickups from either Lollar or Klein for a truly vintage tone and all electronics are CTS, CRL, and Switchcraft components. Orange Drop capacitors are standard throughout the line to insure smooth roll-off and perfect tone every time.
K-Line Guitars is one of those companies that cannot be recommended enough for the vintage enthusiast. The moderate price-point puts them in a place to be affordable to a huge demographic, unlike some of the “dream guitars” that use exotic woods and build techniques. K-Line guitars are built in the tradition of the instruments that have withstood the test time and are still revered to this day by discerning guitarists around the world.
