The Fender King guitar was a flat-top acoustic guitar introduced by the Fender company in 1963.
The Brownface series was introduced in 1959 and discontinued in 1963.Since several models can share one chassis type (for example, the early brown 5G7 Bandmaster, 5G5 Pro and 5G12 Concert), this kind of interpretation is inaccurate.Instead, there were approximately 2000 of these chasses produced, which then ended up as one of the three models in question.Fender King guitars were sequentially numbered and the number placed on the back of the guitar on a small metal plate.
As the name suggests the King was the top of Fender's nascent acoustic guitar line introduced in late 1963 as the folk boom took hold of the market.This period marked the beginning of Fender's use of Tolex to cover amp cabinets.
