Tom Kimber tenor guitar

NK Forster Tom Kimber Tenor – Top of the range, powerful, distinctive.

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

WHAT IT IS

The NK Forster Tom Kimber Tenor is my top-tier tenor guitar. Designed in collaboration with English musician Tom Kimber, this model combines the Session King body shape and the Sobell style soundboard (SS) with a set of premium features that elevate both tone and finish. More punch, more presence, more personality. The best tenor I make.

WHY CHOOSE 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.

WHAT YOU’RE BUYING

A fully hand-built Tom Kimber Tenor with Sobell-style voicing and premium tonewoods throughout. One spec, no shortcuts. A lifetime warranty.
