Vintage V6 Reissued, Sunset Sunburst, Left Handed

Vintage V6 Reissued, Sunset Sunburst, Left Handed Overview

With a traditionally styled American Alder body, a balanced set of three Wilkinson WVS vintage-voiced Alnico V pickups, and a Wilkinson WVC vibrato bridge, the Vintage V6 Reissued in Sunset Sunburst is every inch a sky-kissing voodoo machine - a masterpiece of detail and playability.

The WVS pickups feature staggered, chamfered edge pole pieces for that authentic stone-free tone and power, while the reverse wound, reverse polarity centre pickup provides hum cancelling in switch positions 2 and 4. A positive location, 6 screw trem and bridge design, with ‘push-in’ variable tension delrin-bushed arm, provides an accurate return to pitch; perpendicular bend, high grade steel saddles enhance tonality and ‘snap’, and a ground base plate corner provides authentic looks.

Comfort, speed, and sheer playability are provided by way of a Classic Vintage ‘soft C’ profile Maple neck, and a 10" radius Lignum Rosa™ fingerboard ensures outstanding tonal transfer, responsiveness and durability. Medium profile frets add to the comfort, accuracy and overall positive feel of the Vintage V6, while the addition of a Graphite top nut, and Wilkinson WJ55 E-Z-Lok locking tuners ensure constant and stable tuning; staggered string posts, a feature usually only seen on higher priced instruments, provide the ideal string rake angle for smooth vibrato action and correct playing tension.

The V6™ is an original Vintage® ReIssued Series guitar, designed and created by Trev Wilkinson and the UK Vintage design team.
