Rees Electric Guitars CKF Series

Bursting forth from Cambridge, England are some of the finest handmade guitars that you will ever bear witness to. The new Rees Electric Guitars CKF Series boasts of bearing a body made of Korina wood and features a variety of features to choose from to have your very own. The mere mention of Korina wood might make you drool all over, but how wonderful can an English handmade guitar get? Read further.

The CKF Series as stated earlier feature a body made out of Korina wood. These handcrafted semi-hollow guitars feature a body with a solid central portion in the middle and chambered sides adorned with an F hole. The top is a fully carved arch-top front and the back is half carved, which adds to the tried and tested chambering exhibited in the Rees F2. This design gives the player both balance and comfort while playing.

A wide array of choice await the future Rees CKF Series owner as follows:

  • The bridge can be a fixed fully adjustable Gotoh wrap-around, or a Kahler vibrato bridge.
  • The pickups, by Seymour Duncan, can be open or nickel covered humbuckers, or P90s.
  • The controls can be 2, 3, or 4 knob, ranging from simple to "do-everything" including single coils; phased; series and parallel.
  • The fretboard can be pau ferro, or maple, or birds eye maple.
  • The tuners can be standard Gotohs, or Sperzel locking tuners.

FEATURES:

  • Carved korina body with optional flame maple front and a choice of colors and sunbursts.
  • Low weight chambered construction for ultimate tone and sustain.
  • Angled 22 fret 25.5 in Warmoth maple neck.
  • Warmoth compound radius fret-board of a choice of woods.
  • Acrylic and oil and wax finish for fine tone, good looks, and durability.
  • Wrap-around bridge, or Kahler vibrato bridge.
  • Fender LSR roller nut for easy tuning and string weight tolerance.
  • Seymour Duncan JB and Jazz humbucker pickups, or Seymour Duncan P90 pickups.
  • Choice of controls from simple to advanced coil splitting; phased; series and parallel.

The body is stained via hand rubbing as opposed to spraying to further highlight the wood grain. Finished in multiple layers of thin acrylic lacquer, oil and wax, the Rees Electric Guitars CKF Series has well-preserved resonance and tone along with aesthetics to match. The neck boasts of a high-tech polymer lacquer finish with a fast action satin finish to the back of the neck. The CKF Series guitars are priced at 1460.00 USD.
