K-Line Truxton
The K-Line Truxton is based on the classic American single cut guitar that inspired country and rock players around the world. Known for its signature twang and warm rhythm sounds, this guitar was one of the first electrics to go into production and the design has withstood the test of time to still be as popular today as it was 60 years ago.
Enter the K-Line Truxton. The Truxton takes everything that was great about the Tele and makes it legendary. Using select woods that are mated in perfect tonal harmony, the K-Line Truxton builds on the classic T with some modern appointments that improve playability, tone, and intonation. The K-Line Truxton comes standard with a select alder or ash body, specifically chosen for its tonal qualities that is then finished in a thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish that is allowed to set into the grain resulting in the full tonality and resonance of the wood to come through. The neck is painstakingly crafted with hand-rolled fretboard edges and an aged finish that gives it a well worn feel. The contour is a perfectly balanced .860” “U” shape that is reminiscent of the 51 Nocaster without being too meaty for the average sized hand. K-Line then uses a flatter 10” radius to remove note-choking on string bends and Jescar medium fretwire for a vintage feel.
To address the problem of intonation, the K-Line Truxton features a custom spec’d bridge made of a heavy stamped plate that is thicker than one would expect for superb sustain. This bridge plate is mated to a set of rolled brass compensated saddles that are warm and twangy. The rolled brass eliminates any harsh high end artifacts and false harmonic overtones while retaining the signature twang and allowing for perfect vibration on the string. Each K-Line Truxton is fitted with Lollar or Klein pickups and available in two versions: Vintage or Special. The Vintage model features the bridge outlined above with T-style pickups. The Special model is loaded with P-90’s and features a Hipshot hard-tail bridge. All electronics include CTS pots, CRL switches, Switchcraft jacks, and Orange Drop capacitors for unparalleled balance and dimension to the overall sound.
The K-Line Truxton will please twangers and rockers alike with a time honored classic design that has been updated to meet the needs of the modern guitarist.
