FS - Fret King Corona 80 Green Label & Freshman FJ2

March

I'm slowly starting to move out some of the instruments that I've acquired that are not seeing regular playing attention. Up for your consideration are the following;

Fret King Corona 80 Green Label
This is one of the UK built Fret King guitars, and to be honest, this is one that I am on the fence about letting go. 
It features an Ash body finished in white blond. I believe the maple neck is qtr sawn and feels pretty similar to the Fender Am Std C profile of the 80's and 90's. It features a rosewood board with medium jumbo frets. 

The trem is a Wilkinson VSV-G bridge that is super smooth in feel and operation. I've got it set up with quite a lot of back bend available for Beck'ism's (although in my hands it sounds more like a tortured cat), and the combination of the bridge and the locking tuners provides the stability you would expect. 

The pickups have been swapped, the middle single coil is a Fender Texas Special and the humbuckers are Monty GT500's (that's what they were called the week I ordered them, I believe that they have since been renamed to the Full Monty. The bottom tone control is a push push coil tap. Supplied with a Kinsman hardcase. 

This guitar was acquired from a dealer friend  around five years ago who'd acquired it direct from one of his Fret King reps and had kept it as his personal guitar. It weighs just over 8Ibs. As can well be expected, it's a well built guitar that sounds and plays beautifully. It has a couple of slight creases in the top that are hard to photograph, but is pretty clean with the usual playwear. I'm looking for £800 £775 which gets you a lot of guitar. Postage at cost.

Freshman FJ2 Jazz Box - Traded
I got this at the same time as the Fret King from the same dealer friend. I'd gone in looking at getting a jazz style guitar to experiment with and ended up liking this and the Fret King so acquired both. These were around £1000 new and very nicely put together. The back, top and sides feature what I assume are really nice veneers. This one had a slight issue with a lifting fret that has been sorted by Jonathan and the team at Feline Guitars, it's now playing exceptionally nicely. Comes with a Freshman gig bag. 

I'd like to see £475 for this one, given that it comes in a gigbag and I do not have suitable packaging material, I would prefer collection from North Herts.
