Iconic Look and Sound
The Kingman's classic dreadnought body shape and tonewood combination produce the mellow warmth and crisp articulation Buck Owens was known for. Its solid sitka spruce top delivers a light, airy tone with piano-like bass and sparkling highs. Ovangkol back and sides add midrange depth and focus. Together, these premium woods achieve an ideal balance of chime and warmth for playing Buck's signature songs.
Smooth Playability
The Kingman's mahogany neck and ovangkol fingerboard feel familiar and fast under your fingers. Its slim profile and medium fret size allow chords and melodies to ring out with clarity. The bone nut and 25.6" scale length provide optimal string tension for tight, in-tune bass notes and shimmering treble tones. Whether you're playing "Act Naturally" or improvising solos, the Kingman's playability inspires you to make music.
Plug in and Perform
The Fishman Presys VT Plus pickup system captures the Kingman's resonant tone for live shows or recording. A volume control and pickup blend knob allow balancing the guitar's natural acoustic sound with the piezo pickup. Use the body pickup alone for an amplified acoustic tone or blend in the piezo for more cut and clarity. However you shape its tone, the Kingman projects with the same power and detail as Buck's guitar.
A Piece of Country History
As Buck Owens' first signature guitar, the Kingman lets you experience the instrument behind his pioneering Bakersfield sound. Its premium design and appointments honor Buck's musical legacy. The guitar's label and truss rod cover feature Buck's signature, while its aged white tuning machines and nickel hardware match his original guitar. For authentic vintage-inspired tone from a country music legend, plug in the Fender Buck Owens Signature Kingman today.
