specs: I m extremely proud to have a Fret-King |
with my name on it. The GW plays great, looks |
great, feels great, stays in tune, and the natural |
sustain is superb. 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. Colour: Vintage WhiteBody: |
