The Fret-King® Corona epitomises Fret-King’s holistic approach to guitar design. Retrospective, classic, yet forward looking. This is a guitar ready to take on any musical style.

Upending the norm, with an eclectic selection of pickups, a neck mounted Soapstack™, mid-position Dallas Special™ and the Fret-King® Prizefighter™ in the bridge, along with some really neat tonal circuitry and switching, the Wilkinson WV6SB vibrato loaded Corona Custom is truly one of the most versatile and useable guitars on the planet. At the leading edge of modernity, capable of an almost limitless range of tones, ready to take on any musical style and be that crucial ‘multi-tool’ essential for the journeyman player.

Corona Custom Features:

Body:
The Three-piece body with 4” centre block is constructed from selected American alder. The contemporary style body, with its tight edge radiuses casts an assertive shadow. The unique reduced profile neck joint and subtly extended cutaways offers enhanced upper fret access, and the front and rear comfort cuts make the Custom a pleasure to wear. A solid four bolt neck joint ensures the constructional and mechanical integrity which provides a platform for great sustain and the harmonious, authentic tonalities of the Corona Custom.

Headstock:
The signature Fret-King headstock ensures perfect balance, classic looks, and great visual appeal.

Machine Heads:
Wilkinson® WJ05 pin-lock locking machine heads with staggered string post heights provide correct string rake angle for snag free, smooth vibrato action and correct playing tension.

Nut:
43mm Graph Tech® self-lubricating nut, smooth and friction free.

Neck:
Light oil finished, hard rock Maple with classic ‘soft C’ profile for instant comfort, speed, accuracy, and a luxurious, ‘played in’ feel.

Fingerboard:
Premium Indian Rosewood for durability, and outstanding tonal transfer with a 10” radius for a super comfortable, responsive, positive playing feel.

Scale Length:
25.5" / 648mm.

Frets:
22 Medium profile hi-durability nickel silver frets ensure accuracy, comfort, and an overall feel.

Pickups:
A carefully curated set of Fret-King pickups enables the Corona Custom to deliver a phenomenal range of tones.

In the bridge position, the custom designed Fret-King Prizefighter™ pickup, created by Trev Wilkinson delivers rich, fat mid-range with outstanding sweet highs that clean up magnificently, with bright split coil tones that retain plenty of output.

Trev’s mid position Fret-King Dallas Special™ hot single coil and unique Fret-King Soapstack™ stacked soap bar style neck pickup imbue the Corona Custom with an extraordinary breadth of tones, which cover the entire gamut of the two and three pickup, bolt and fixed neck classics.

This creative pickup configuration is managed by an equally capable switching and wiring arrangement designed to max out the tonal potential of the guitar, and can allow the Corona Custom to be a two single coil, or a two twin coil pickup guitar, it can be an "all pickups on" guitar for a huge tone, or it’ll produce the classic out of phase tones in positions two and four on the five way lever switch. In fact, there’s not much the Corona Custom can’t do, and everything it does, it does with customary Fret-King elan and aplomb.

Control Functions:
• Ergonomic five-way lever switch selects neck, neck and middle out of phase, middle only, middle and bridge out of phase, or bridge pickup.
• Master Volume.
• Middle position tone control covers neck mounted Soapstack pickup and mid position Dallas Special pickup.
Push/Push switch; Down position, (function bypass), up position, (function activated), engages neck and bridge in switch positions 1 & 5, as in twin double coil guitar, and in positions 2 & 4 engages ALL pickups.

Vibrato bridge:
The Wilkinson® WV6 vibrato bridge featured on the Fret-King Corona Custom is a tour de force of design and technical detail. The ground steel base plate corner gives the WV6 authentic period looks, and the subtle “5+1”, 6 screw design ensures positive location and solid lateral and longitudinal stability.

Perpendicular bend, high grade steel saddles ensure spot on intonation, enhanced tonality, with ‘snap’. and classic vintage tone.

The stagger drilled steel block, with stepped forward 1st and 4th strings, working in concert with the string tree free headstock loaded with staggered post height locking tuners and Graph Tech® top nut ensure an outstanding return to zero pitch accuracy.

The easily adjusted ‘push-in’ Delrin®-bushed arm with variable arm height and tension provides the arm position and feel that suits your vibrato style.

Carry Bag:
The Corona Custom comes with a Fret-King luxury gig bag.

The Corona Custom is an original Fret-King® design created by the UK Fret-King® design team.

Works great and easy to use
Kitchen gadgets have a way of accumulating. You buy them with good intentions, use them twice, and then they live in a drawer forever. This milk frother is not that. It's one of those rare small appliances that earns its spot on the counter every single morning. The wireless charging is the feature that sets this apart from every other handheld frother on the market. No fumbling with a charging cable, no little dock that takes up extra space — just set it down and it charges. It sounds like a small thing until you've used it, and then it feels like the obvious way every handheld kitchen tool should work. The fact that it charges quickly means you're never waiting around or reaching for it only to find it dead. Three speed settings give you real control over the result. Low for gentle mixing, high for a proper thick foam that holds up in a latte or cappuccino the way it should. The stainless steel whisk feels durable and substantial, not like something that's going to bend or corrode after a few months of daily use. The whole thing is well-made in a way you notice immediately, solid, balanced, and built to last. The Starlight Black finish looks sharp, too. It's sleek enough to leave out without cluttering your kitchen aesthetic, which matters when you're using something every day. If you make lattes or cappuccinos at home and you're still shaking a jar of milk or settling for flat foam, this is the upgrade you didn't know you needed. Easy to use, quick to charge, and genuinely well crafted.

Three Speeds, Two Charge Options, Three Interchangeable Whisk Heads
I like this electric milk frother—it enables you to simulate café-style drinks at home. Three speed settings make it easy to switch from mixing matcha to whipping up thick, creamy foam for lattes. It also comes with three interchangeable whisk heads, so it is not just for coffee—I made French Toast with it the 1st time out. It can handle other tasks, like blending eggs, cream, and even protein shakes. The LED battery level display is up front right below the power button and shows state of charge as well as increasing battery level during the charging cycle. The dual charging options—either the magnetic charge stand or the USB-C charge port on the side of the motor—make it convenient for home or for travel. Best of all, all the detachable whisk heads clean up fast, so using it daily does not feel like a chore. I will say that I prefer a momentary one-speed switch instead of cycling the speeds (9K RPM, 11K RPM & 13K RPM) with the power switch. It spins up very fast and to shut it off you have to keep pressing the power button through faster speeds and before you can shut it off, it overflows the cup sometimes. You can also long press the power button to turn it off, but it usually takes too long and still overflows—I wish it was more controllable. I found that the corkscrew-hook head is the best of the three to tame that effect.

Good companion to a coffee setup
This electric frother is a great companion to have in a kitchen/coffee setup and I've been using it to mix my morning coffee. The frother includes a stand which serves as the charging base and multiple attachments (likely won't really see too much use realistically). My only downside is that the stand situation is a bit lackluster as the wireless charging feature requires you to line up the two pins at the top to the stand and balance the frother. Alternatively the frother also has a USB C charging port (sadly not USB C compliant as it can't be charged via USB c to c). The frother itself cycles between different levels of speed when you press the button and it is pretty strong; being able to very easily swirl and mix large amounts of coffee leaving mine nice and frothy. I've also been using this to mix drink powder mixes to great effectiveness. The other attatchments don't really hold too much value to me (other than maybe the whisk for eggs) but is nice to have other options included. Overall this frother is a massive step up over me using a spoon to stir my coffee.

My coffee is now judging your coffee.
I’m a simple man. All I wanted was decent foam on my morning coffee without paying $7 at Starbucks like a sucker. What I got instead is this charcoal black, LED-equipped, triple-whisk, rocket-powered milk frother that feels like it should have a NASA logo on it. This thing has three speeds and an actual digital battery display. I caught myself staring at the 1% accuracy battery percentage like it was the stock market. “We’re at 87%… we’re still frothing kings today.” The magnetic charging dock is so satisfying it should be illegal. I literally say “goodnight” to it when I put it back on the stand. The spring whisk? Velvety microfoam so perfect my wife asked if I was having an affair with a barista. The balloon whisk made whipped cream so fluffy my kids thought it was a cloud that fell into their hot chocolate. And the hook whisk? Blended my protein shake with zero lumps, a miracle previously only achieved by professional athletes and people with patience. Battery life is ridiculous. I’ve been using it twice a day for two weeks and it’s still at 64%. This frother could survive a zombie apocalypse better than I could. The only real downside? I now judge other people’s coffee foam in public. Saw a sad flat latte the other day and whispered “that man doesn’t own the Dropology frother…” If you like coffee, matcha, hot chocolate, or just feeling like a kitchen god, buy this immediately. It’s the most over-engineered $30-ish gadget I’ve ever loved. 10/10 would froth again.

Powerful and I love the charging base and attachments
This is surprisingly more powerful than I thought it would be. It will whip up an egg for scrambled eggs as well as froth your milk. It came with 3 attachments and a charging base. You can charge it using the base or directly in to the frother using the included usbc. I have had battery operated frothers that really weren't that great. This one is blows them all away. I use it mainly to stir my coffee and scramble my eggs and I'm sure I will find many more ways to use it. Its a great value and looks nice on my counter top.
