    Default Happy NGD to me! Fret King Esprit 3

    Traded for this lovely Fret King Esprit 3 Green Label model.

    The guitar is pretty light ( made out of Korina ) and balances really well actually. The neck is a medium / lil bit fatter C shape and is VERY comfy to play. The 3 p90s have really good traditional p90 tone and don't have hardly any hum. I am blown away by this guitar. I really wish more of these Fret King guitars would end up over here in the states....this is the first one I've ever had the pleasure of playing/owning and I'd definitely be interested in trying out some of their other models.

    I've always liked the looks of those things.

    Is this the same as the one Stevie Bees got recently ? (I don't think his has 3 P90s but i seem to remember it's the same basic guitar). I like the way they look.

    Believe me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.
