Fret King Elise Custom - Ex demo DEAL

Everyone loves a good honest deal, and this one is a killer offer. This fabulous smaller body semi is new, but has been the showroom display model at the distributors HQ. It is the example guitar sent to them buy the maker, we know this because the strap button has not been drilled/fitted, but fear not we will do this before selling it!

Being a Trev Wilkinson design it has far more than most guitar in the way of tonal offerings! You get a master volume and tone. The tone is a push/push pot switching between in and out of phase. The third pot gradually winds the humbuckers down to single coils...pretty versatile huh!

There is also the Wilkinson tremola tail, similar to the early SG's, but more stable!
All in all this is a great quality, great looking, great playing guitar and this one is a really great price too!

Elise Custom Vintage Vibrato Features

Body:
The two-piece centre jointed, chambered semi-acoustic premium mahogany body features a tuned, violin carved maple cap, mahogany extended tenon neck joint, and premium mahogany neck, which all couple outstandingly well to create an airy lightness and ensure the strength and constructional integrity which provides the platform for the singing tone, blooming sustain and classic, authentic tonalities of the Elise Custom.

The unique reduced profile neck joint and subtly extended cutaway offers enhanced upper fret access, and the superb overall balance makes the Elise Custom a pleasure to wear.

Frets:
22 Medium profile hi-durability nickel silver frets ensure accuracy, comfort, and an overall feel.

Pickups:
A carefully curated set of Fret-King pickups enables the Elise Custom to deliver phenomenal versatility.

The custom designed Fret-King Fifty-Five™ double coil pickups, created by Trev Wilkinson using a truly authentic recipe, give the Elise Custom the inherent character and tonal versatility its semi-acoustic style suggests, whilst hinting at there being many other different personas waiting to burst forth.

Those other personas manifest themselves from within an almost impossibly broad tonal palette. The Elise Custom features a three-way selector switch, master volume, master tone control with latching push/push out of phase switch, and Fret-King’s unique Varicoil™ control which progressively winds the Fifty-Five pickups from full throated ‘powertone’, to sparkling single coil settings. The extraordinary range of tones this arrangement gives underscores the Fret-King ‘Versatility’ philosophy and makes the Elise Custom, a true journeyman player’s guitar.

Control Functions:
• Three-way toggle selects neck, both, or bridge pickup.
• Master Volume.
• Master Tone with Push-Push Out of Phase Switch.
• Varicoil rolls either or both pickups progressively from double coil to single coil.

Vintage style Vibrato:
Enhancing that tonality is a direct mounted Wilkinson® GBR roller bridge, which anchors the bridge solidly to the body ensuring the all-important transfer of maximum string energy to the body and pickups. The stylish and authentic Fret-King vintage style vibrato tailpiece allows for subtle, shimmering pitch manipulation, with Wilkinson’s trademark return-to-pitch accuracy and stability.
