Initially known for vibratos and other guitar and bass related hardware, it was only a matter of time before Trev Wilkinson just had to design and build his own guitars, adopting the design philosophy that he used in creating Wilkinson hardware, that change should never just be for change’s sake, only ever for the better.

Fret-King by Trev Wilkinson was born out of the desire to address a real need, expressed by many professional ‘journeyman’ guitar players for an authentic build ‘working vintage guitar’, free of compromise and without having to pay homage to nostalgic and outmoded design criteria set many decades ago.

Often referred to as a ‘Guru’, a moniker which he tolerates rather than endorses, Trev WIlkinson clearly has the respect of his peers in the guitar building fraternity with an undisputed reputation as a designer and innovator with vast experience, style, and a serious edge.
