Fret-King® guitars is delighted to announce its newest Black Label artist model, designed in cooperation with UK blues legend John Verity.

A tone hound and perfectionist, John has embedded in his very soul the ultimate tone for the classic, double-cut 3-single coil pickup guitar. His knowledge and Trev Wilkinson's design expertise have created what is John’s ultimate personal guitar.

With a two piece centre-joined American alder body coupled to a Canadian hard rock maple neck and fingerboard, the tonal heart of the JV is a balanced, calibrated set of three custom-wound, vintage voiced, single coil alnico V pickups wound to an authentic Trev Wilkinson recipe.

As ever, there’s the Fret-King twist. On the JV, it's the hidden Power-coil™, which eliminates hi-gain noise, making the pickups just that bit hotter, even with the power backed off, and maintaining that all-important single coil tone. Meanwhile, the Wilkinson WVP vibrato system, with its heat-treated solid steel saddles, steel block and E-Z Lok locking machineheads, ensures pitch stability and rock solid tuning.

In Original Classic Burst finish, with gold hardware and parchment scratchplate, the Fret-King JV looks as good as it sounds, and, as John himself says: "It's the sound I've had in my head all these years – the best guitar I’ve ever played!"

The Fret-King Black Label Corona 'JV' is available now, so make sure you check it out at your local dealer, and visit the JV page on the Fret-King website to see John introducing his new toy: www.fret-king.com/john\_verity.html
