help K-Line Springfield FAQ

What classic guitar design inspired the K-Line Springfield?

The Springfield is K-Line's interpretation of the familiar double-cutaway S-style electric guitar associated with the Fender Stratocaster. Builder Chris Kroenlein modifies details such as the neck-pocket angle while retaining three pickups and a tremolo bridge.

Why did the K-Line Springfield win Guitarist magazine's 2011 award?

Guitarist named the Springfield its 2011 Guitar of the Year in the electric-guitar-over-£1,000 category. The model was praised for combining vintage appearance and feel with careful modern construction.

Are K-Line Springfield guitars factory relics or genuinely old instruments?

They are modern guitars, with aged finishes available to reproduce the wear of a frequently played vintage instrument. K-Line builds them in the United States rather than converting original 1950s or 1960s Fenders.

What does a new K-Line Springfield cost?

K-Line currently lists Springfield prices starting around $3,250, although options and dealer stock can change the final price. That places it against boutique S-style builders such as Nash, Suhr, and Xotic rather than entry-level Fender models.
