About King Snake Guitars:
King Snake guitars embody the golden age of archtop and semi-hollow design. Inspired by the most iconic classics, each instrument captures the spirit of a vintage guitar, with the consistency and craftsmanship that only modern Japanese lutherie can deliver.
King Snake guitars are finished with ultra-thin open-pore nitrocellulose lacquer, allowing the wood to breathe and age naturally, just like the timeless instruments that inspired them.
Built in the renowned Terada factory - the same workshop responsible for the early-2000s D’Angelico and D’Aquisto archtops, the Sadowsky line,of archtops and most notably, the high-end Gretsch models, these guitars are produced to exacting standards with exceptional attention to detail.
