Fret-King Green Label Perception, Made in England by Mike Smith £550 Margate

[jay-syncro]

Fret-King Green Label Perception, hand made by Mike Smith - of Mike Smith Guitars - on behalf of Fret-King. This was a short lived project by Fret-King to produce high-end custom shop instruments in England. 

 

It is a very high quality build using great materials, the Ash body grain is quite striking and the neck feels amazing. It has a Precision bass style neck, wider at the nut and thicker front to back. This is my main reason for moving it on as I'm more comfortable on ultra skinny jazz necks. 

 

It utilises high quality Gotoh hardware and comes with a branded Hiscox case. It's in fantastic condition. 

 

I'm asking £550 for the bass which offers insane value for money for such a high quality instrument.

J with a P neck - best of both worlds. Nice 70s vibe to it as well. Very cool indeed.

I'd say a P with a J neck is the more common variation but this really works and it sounds huge.

The bass weighs just under 9lbs 👍

That is one beautiful piece of kit.

Thanks, I think it'd be hard to beat in terms of value. I believe the builders guitars start around the £2k mark.
