In as-new condition - only played at home a few times. An incredibly well made and fantastic sounding guitar with a whole myriad of tone possibilities. Beautiful hard maple neck with a smooth satin finish, topped off with a superb rosewood fretboard. The attention to detail on these is exceptional - on a par with American Standard Strats easily Comes with a really good quality Kinsman Premium gig bag which is nice and plush inside and well put together - not a cheap bag by any stretch of the imagination (** Please note - this is not the gig bag with "Fretking" on it, but an equivalent Kinsman Premium Gig Bag - see picture - discovered the original had a broken zip, so I've replaced it with this one**) These Fret King GW's really are a stunning piece of kit - you're welcome to come and give it a spin!! Here's a vid with Geoff going through it's specs and sounds - /watch?v=H5PRwWJCzFY&feature=player_embedded What the Fret King website has to say: With a career spanning over four decades, Geoff has featured in iconic, seminal rock bands like Crawler, where he filled the shoes of the incomparable Paul Kossoff, he's been the long-time guitar sound of Roger Chapman's band, and featured as Procol Harum's lead guitarist since 1991. An in-demand and tasteful player, Geoff's also worked with the likes of Eric Clapton, Sir Paul McCartney, Bad Company, The Who, Kevin Ayers, Elkie Brooks, Manfred Mann, Billy Ocean, and many others, so if anyone needed a versatile, consistently high-performing guitar that cuts through the mix, it's Geoff Whitehorn. The GW Corona is a thoughtful take on a classic, but with an edge, and, like Geoff's playing, is precise, melodic and articulate. Sonically, with the somewhat unorthodox pickup combination of a P90 in the neck position, a throaty single coil in the middle, and a roaring Fret-King Prizefighter® double coil in the bridge position, the GW covers an immense range of fundamental tones. With a control layout orthodox in appearance, but more comprehensive than meets the eye, the GW has master tone for the neck and middle pickups, and separate tone control for the bridge double coil. Add to this a push-push switch on the neck/middle pickup tone control which switches the neck and bridge pickup together, as well as a second push-push switch on the bridge pickup tone control which taps the Prizefighter to single coil and, as Geoff says, "if you can't find the sound you want with this guitar, maybe it doesn't exist."

New guitars are as they state - BRAND NEW + checked over thoroughly. I am a guitarist, so sell what I know and what I like - I'm not just a box shifter and take care over each and every guitar that comes through my hands - This is a bit of a hobby for me and a way to make a few quid so I can buy more guitars to appease my GAS: I don't make loads of profit from these (eBay does though ;)), just enough to build a bit of a guitar fund, and still be able to feed and clothe my kids!! Any queries please get in touch through ebay messages or direct via . You are more than welcome to come and try the guitar before you buy. Thank you 100% Feedback.
