    I've noticed that Blues players either love em or hate em... no middle ground with those. Seems most who hate them are trying to push them through the wrong amp.

    The right amp is sure a key, rocket. I got my Tech21 just before I let it go, and I was loving it. The Hawk is (was, since they disco'd it) an odd duck Gibby. Dummy coil under the Blues90's to 'tap' them via push-pull pots, 3-way strat-type switch & the Varitone...18 pup possible positions. Ya think you could live with the Fender-scale (25.5) neck?

    I'd seen/played one other that came thru my dealer b4 this one, and missed that one. It was in blue, with a bigsby, and instead of the 90's, had the 'mini' buckers. If another ever lands here, I'd be suffering major GAS...

    Nope... not for electric, (and that must be the reason I don't & haven't owned one.)
    I can barely tolerate 25.5" on acoustics... tune down 1/2 & capo to pitch.

    Gutman-- give us some deets on that guitar. Model/brand? Country of origin? Price?

    I like what they did with the upper edge of the pickguard.

    Right
    That's a Fret-King Corona 60 SP by Trevor Wilkinson (you might have heard about the wilkinson tremolo). Trev is running a custom shop in England but I think there's another series made in czech republik (not sure bout that) - he also worked with Patrick Eggle afaik.

    The hardware on this guitar is great - the tuners are staggered locking tuners that work perfectly with the vintage style tremolo. The other specs are very close to a '65 Stratocaster Trev took as a model.

    I was lucky to get this guitar used but in mint condition and I payed about 900 Dollars. I'm not sure about the original retail price and I'm not sure, when this guitar was built..

    Thumbs up

    Thanks for the info. I've seen Fret-Kings online, and knew about the Wilkinson connexion, they have some cool designs.

    One never sees them here in the States though.

    I don't have a red one either. Everything I seem to like is either not offered in red or is too expensive.

    I like wine red and darker reds.

    Nice guitars everyone. I especially like that Gibson Blueshawk.

    I'm not really sure which one you mean. Both have Seymour Duncan 59's in them, I've leveled the frets, dressed them and polished them, and I have them loaded with Heavy/Lite (10-52) strings. Because of the strings and pickups they sound very similar....the difference being in the necks and fret number.

    Short answer....yes, they rawk! Thanks!
