The Elise is beautifully crafted from solid mahogany with a mahogany neck.

A full length centre block is then added to this construction, and ends just below the tailpiece. Topped with a solid maple cap, which is hand carved both inside and out, providing you with a beautifully arch top capable of delivering a beautiful tone and resonance. This labour intensive process adds a great prestige to this wonderful instrument, and offers high quality.
The slick mahogany neck, with deluxe rosewood fingerboard, employs the Fret-King 'Set-in' neck joint, which joins precisely to the body underneath the neck pickup, forming a rigid fixed bond between neck and body, maximising the retention and transmission of the Elise's fundamental acoustic properties. This unique set neck joint offers astounding upper fret access and easy playability.

Two classic 'f' sound holes provide the Elise with a traditional appearance as well as offering an enhanced resonance, by projecting the sound more efficiently, and are an indispensable part of the sound.
Another visual feature, is the stunning Tortoiseshell binding that not only offers a delicate detail, but also frames the solid maple cap nicley. Fret King have succeeded in maintaining the vintage look by incorporating vintage-style control knobs to the design, offering an easy control and a stylish look.
