Vintage V100PGM ReIssued, Lemondrop Overview
With a Maple cap and Mahogany body providing excellent resonance, tone and ‘correct weight’ comfort, and two Wilkinson WVC Double Coil pickups providing classic raw tone and power, the V100MR "Lemon Drop" is a traditionally styled and highly playable tone machine, with some unusual additional features.
In the late 1960s, a reverse-fitted neck humbucker with out-of-phase centre position wiring created a certain "black-magic" guitar tone - one of the most recognisable ever produced. This has been replicated to produce a guitar with a real "ohhhh-well" vibe. Mismatched tone and volume knobs and a flawless finish ensure the Lemon Drop keeps the mojo working, while Wilkinson's excellently crafted Tune-O-Matic bridge, Vintage tulip deluxe machine heads, and a 43mm Graphite nut enables fine-tuning, superb intonation, and excellent tuning stability. A one piece Mahogany neck with a classic Vintage ‘soft C’ profile, supplies supreme comfort, speed, and accuracy beneath a 12” radius Lignum Rosa™ fretboard; outstanding tonal transfer capabilities, responsiveness and durability with 22 Medium Jumbo frets creates a fantastically positive feel to this very stylish, great sounding, and affordable guitar.
Whether you're searching for your first guitar or your last, every member of the Vintage ReIssued Series is a keeper. Then play on..
