Initially known for vibratos and other guitar and bass related hardware it was just a matter of time before Trev Wilkinson just had to design and build his own guitars, adopting the design philosophy that he used in creating Wilkinson™ hardware, that change should never just be for change’s sake, only ever for the better.
Fret-King™ by Trev Wilkinson was born out of the desire to address a real need, expressed by many professional ‘journeyman’ guitar players for an authentic build ‘working vintage guitar’, free of compromise and without having to pay homage to nostalgic and outmoded design criteria set many decades ago.
Often referred to as a ‘Guru’, a moniker which he tolerates rather than endorses, Trev Wilkinson clearly has the respect of his peers in the guitar building fraternity with an undisputed reputation as a designer and innovator with vast experience, style, and a serious edge.
This is my Fret King guitar.
This is a Corona 60sp, Alder body, maple neck with a rosewood finger board.with two single coil pick up's, and one P90 (SP) type pick up at the bridge position, 5 position switch, and a Trevor Wilkinson/Gotoh "VSV" bridge.
More spec at his web site,
This is a lovely playing and sounding guitar, the single coil pick up's are noiseless, and the P90 is nice and clean, and cut's through well in the mix, [img src="i26.photobucket.com/albums/c142/goghead/fantastic1.gif"][/IMG]
This is my Fret King Bass that trevor made for me, it has a Jazz and Presicion pick up's, (as that is what i wanted), this bass is really great to play, amazing feel, nice fast neck, a pleasure to play. [/color]
