Fret King Corona Classic Guitar - Vintage Sunburst
PRE-ORDER
We will ship to you as soon as we receive stock
The Fret-King Corona epitomises Fret-King’s holistic approach to guitar design. Retrospective, yet forward looking this is a guitar ready to take on any musical style.
The Corona Classic, with its bridge mounted Fret-King Fifty-Five double coil and mid/neck Vintage Sixty pickups is so versatile. It will deliver everything from full throated, blistering double coil power, to as much nuance as you’d ever like to feed into a tonal palette of staggering breadth.
From a playability perspective, it’s comfort and familiarity all the way. The Vibrato, a Wilkinson WV6SB, is a tour de force. Steel block for tone, 5+1 knife edge, no string trees and Graph Tech nut all work together for near perfect return to zero.
For maximum performance and the broadest tonal palette, the Corona Classic features a five way selector switch, master volume, master tone, and Fret-King’s unique Varicoil control, which progressively winds the Fifty-Five from blistering full throated double coil power, to a crisp, clear, classic vintage bridge single coil tone, making the Corona Classic able to cover the panoply of classic tones associated with the traditional three single coil double cut and its more aggressive HSS configuration.
