Trev Wilkinson, father of Fret-King says "No guitar range would be complete without paying homage to the most famous double cutaway guitar shape of all time. Making a guitar this shape is easy; however, knowing how to build one from the inside out is a lesser-known skill! I have owned many of these guitars and repaired many hundreds more over the decades. These years of knowledge and experience are the essence of Fret-King's `authentic vintage construction', and imbue my guitars with that true 'vintage vibe'.

Fret-King Green Label Corona 70 Coral Red is made in the UK

Built with a hand-selected, two-piece centre-jointed alder body, the Fret-King Corona is a classic combination of aesthetic and tonal perfection. In keeping with the sixties tradition, this model has a familiar and comfortable shallow C profile maple neck with 25 1/2" scale length.

By utilising an original spec, small diameter truss rod, there is a much greater ratio of wood-to-metal, contributing to retaining all that elusive 'vintage tone'. Add to this the extra benefit of hardware that keeps you in tune and you have a truly rare instrument one that really works live, on stage or in the studio.

Vibrato is a fundamental part of the performance of these guitars, and you will not believe the tuning stability of the Wilkinson VSV on the Fret-King Corona. The Fret-King Corona 70 Coral Red features custom-wound Fret-King pickups. Vintage voiced humbuckers in a matched, calibrated set for a perfect balance between each pickup combination and selection  .
