JHS, the UK brand owners of Fret-King® and Vintage® fretted instruments, is delighted to announce the appointment of 5th Crown Music Limited as their Canadian distributors.

“5th Crown Music was built around the desire to provide Canadians with the best advice, opportunity and equipment, turning their talent into music they love to play and hear. In JHS we have found the perfect instrument partner to take our company and Canadian musicians to the next level. We are delighted at 5th Crown Music to enable Canadian Musician’s to get their hands on Fret-King and Vintage brand guitars. 
We are offering a full range of Fret-King & Vintage electric solid body and semi-acoustic guitars for Winter 2021, and in the Spring we will be launching JHS’s fantastic Vintage acoustics ahead of the 2021 Canadian Summer. JHS’s thoughtful assortment, great price points, stunning looks, quality build, and outstanding Wilkinson hardware is just what the Canadian player is looking for and until now has not been able to find.” quoted Pete Breadmore, President, 5th Crown Music.
 
Shane Cloutier, Head of Music at 5th Crown Music also said “As a Fret-King endorsee for many years, I can feel through my fingertips the depth of thought that goes into each and every model. As a professional singer song-writer with 20+ years of gigs behind me I know what the top players are looking for from their instruments, and as a music school owner I know the value that students and parents crave. Wow, with Fret-King and Vintage we have these bases covered. We have so many creative and knowledgeable players in Canada, its almost like a natural resource, so I can’t wait to open our first 5th Crown interactive virtual guitar clinic this winter. I’m a fan, a player, a teacher, and a guitar student for life, I’m so looking forwards to discussing Vintage and Fret-King guitars with Canadian players.”
