Vintage V120 ReIssued, Gun Hill Blue Overview
Timeless simplicity and a devastating sound; Vintage's V120GHB was born straight from the classic Mahogany body / Mahogany neck plus single "soapbar" pickup school of design, and the result is an incredible sounding, and surprisingly versatile single cut guitar that's impossible to put down.
Employing a single W90SK pickup and straight ahead circuitry, the V120GHB provides good, honest musical tones night after night - detailed and chiming, but ready to growl with a twist of the volume knob or a heavy right hand. A Wilkinson GTBCR compensating bridge provides superb intonation all over the fretboard, while tuning stability is ensured by way of Wilkinson WJ15 Deluxe machine heads, and a superbly smooth and well cut Graphtech NuBone nut.
A classic Vintage ‘soft C’ neck profile provides instant comfort, speed, and accuracy, while the 12" radius Lignum Rosa™ 22 fret fingerboard enhances the great feel of this simple masterpiece, which by way of playing technique and tone / volume controls is capable of providing a wide and versatile range of sounds.
Whether you're searching for your first guitar or your last, every member of the Vintage ReIssued Series is a keeper. Play on.
What Vintage say:
When it comes down it, no matter what guitar you choose, sound is everything. The Vintage ReIssued Series V120GHB is for the players who value tone over anything and everything else, guitarists who are happy to forgo ornate, decorative features when choosing an instrument – players who listen with their ears rather than their eyes.
Devastatingly simple and effective, the V120GHB employs a single W90SK pickup and straight ahead circuitry, providing good, honest and musical tones night after night.
