Vintage V120MR Icon, Distressed Black On Cherry Red Overview
Timeless simplicity and a devastating sound; Vintage's V120MR Icon 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 V120 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.
No gimmicks, just plug in and chew the grit. Play on.
