We were big fans of Fret-King's original Elise GG, so we're pleased to see this MKII take on the guitar, courtesy of genre-hopping guitar ace Gordon Giltrap and design wizard Trevor Wilkinson.
This iteration's major tweaks come in the form of a Wilkinson neck mini-double coil and standard bridge humbucker, which can be tweaked to provide single-coil tones using the Vari-Coil control.
Elsewhere, there's a two-piece, centre-jointed mahogany chambered body with double-carved solid maple cap and figured flame maple veneer, finished in a lovely Antique Sunburst, as well as an inlaid ebony trapeze tailpiece paired with tune-o-matic bridge.
Should be a versatile semi indeed, this. The Fret-King Black Label Elise is available now for £929.
“This golden gain machine covers the entire spectrum from gritty boost through to full-on fuzz”: Great Eastern FX’s Focus Fuzz Deluxe has got boost, drive, octave, fuzz... everything going on
“The mini humbucker fits into the same sized pickup cavity as a P-90 and delivers low-noise humbucking pickup performance and a slightly brighter and more open tone”: Gibson remixes the Les Paul Special with mini humbuckers
