Fender’s Buck Owens Kingman is a 6-string tribute to one of country music’s most enduring figureheads. After all, Buck was one of the brand’s very first adopters when Fender first went acoustic in the 1960s; if you watch recordings of his television appearances, you’ll frequently find him wielding a natural-finished Fender King. This big-bodied dreadnought wears the same red, white, and blue flair found on Buck’s most iconic guitars and supplies a strong, projecting unplugged tone courtesy of its solid spruce top, Performance X-bracing, and solid mahogany back and sides. Even the back of the comfortable C-profile mahogany neck wears stunning stripes, while elegant pearloid block inlays adorn the sleek rosewood fingerboard. And befitting a performer of Buck’s mighty stature, the Fender Buck Owens Kingman comes ready to hit the stage with a Fishman Presys VT Plus preamp system that hides its controls in the soundhole to not distract from the loud and proud top.
