Hi everybody,
are there any other Fret-King users around? I'd really like to hear your experiences with these guitars, not just the Esprits that I talk about in the other topic here.

Hi there, I have had a Corona HB 60 since for about 4 years now, but just really started playing again last year. Great guitar, I am going to have it pleked next month to see if the neck will then be even better. I had this done to a Washburn of mine, and the results were mind blowing! I used to be a Les Paul kindof guy, but the corona has me changed!  later, keith

Hi There - I have a Super 60SP - interesting guitar - well made - very heavy and has great tones - I use it tuned down a semitone for teaching - Hendrix/SRV and Guns and Roses songs - sounds superb. |

Ive got to say im loving the Eclat model. It just has an awesome vibe, a really reassurring weight and the neck is beautiful. It's got some great tones either clean or nice and raunchy with some gain. Truly awesome guitar. In my honest and humble opinion. |

| I have a Super 60, it's just a fantastic instrument, so well made and the hardware is superb. I've even parted with my Jeff Beck Strat, such is the quality. |

Hi Keith...I too own a Corona HB60...actually it was 2008 show guitar and is the one displayed on FK's site. Better than any Fender strat I've owned or played. Just compared it to a $6000 Fender Strat custom shop...the FK is better all around. More vintage tone etc. Chuck

Hi All
I have a Super 60 sp and love it to death, havn't used my Fenders since I bought this Fret King It's amazing I would never have thought to put a P90 with single coils, but what a mix and what a amazing guy Trev is, well done!
lets here from more Fret King owners ,there must be more out there?

Hi
I have a blue label Esprit 5, which would be my first guitar if only I could get a fitted robust case for touring purposes.
I've contacted various Fret King dealers plus Fret King & Hiscox direct and everything points to the cost being £100 - £150 AAAAAAGGGHHH!
I recently purchased an explorer case for £40 but there's just too much room for movement when in the back of our van so looks like I'll have to use the Les Paul for our up and coming tour.
Can anyone help or advise on a more cost effective option as I'd love to take the esprit. I've used it in the studio and at 2 local gigs and it sounded and played awesome and I got loads of comments on it's cool looks, I also used it on our debut single & video shoot, it's just so irritating that you can buy high quality protective cases for your Les paul & Strat for around £50 but these babys will cost you a lung and a kidney.
