Tom Kimber tenor guitar

Designed with Tom Kimber. Built to go beyond the Session King.

WHAT IT IS

The NK Forster Tom Kimber Tenor is a top-tier, fully upgraded tenor guitar. Designed in collaboration with English musician Tom Kimber, this model combines the Session King body shape with a set of premium features that elevate both tone and finish. Think: more punch, more presence, more personality — all built in, no upcharges.

WHY YOU NEED IT

If you’re familiar with the standard Session King tenor guitar, you already know it’s a workhorse. But maybe you’ve wished for a little more depth, a little more character, something with richer mids and a more complex top end.

This is that guitar.

It gives you everything people usually request as custom upgrades and delivers it right out of the box.

WHAT YOU GET

A Session King body with a torrefied Sitka spruce SS-style top for extra midrange and welly.
Sobell-style voicing for that expressive treble.
Queensland silkwood body: light, resonant, and responsive.
New Guinea rosewood neck with dual ebony veneers.
Ebony fretboard, fully bound in Rocklite.
High-gloss lacquer finish.
Striking dyed maple burl rosette.
A tenor that can hold its own in any setting.
Built for power, tone, and long-term reliability.
A lifetime warranty.

This isn’t a stripped-back tenor. It’s the high-spec version most players end up asking for anyway, now standard.
