VINTAGE
VS6 SERIES GETS COOL NEW ICON VERSION
The Vintage VS6 twin-horned, twin humbucker, double cutaway
electric guitar from exclusive distributor JHS remains a great
seller in the Vintage range, and it’s not hard to see
why. Light weight, fully contoured solid mahogany body and
slim set-neck construction all make for a guitar that looks
great and is really easy to get on with.
Already looking good in Gloss Black and Cherry Red versions
(including a left hand Cherry Red option), and recently with
a VS6VW version in smooth Vintage White and posh gold Wilkinson
hardware joining in the fun, too. Only one thing could make
these top-selling guitars even more appealing - an Icon version...
Oh yes,
and here we are. With its distressed and faded Cherry Red
finish, the new/old VS6MRCR, to give it its proper Vintage
Icon catalogue number, features a light weight, accurately
chamfered and contoured solid mahogany body, mated to a slim
medium depth mahogany neck which feels comfortable and quite
worn-in, as you'd expect given the look of the guitar.
Nicely
aged hardware too, especially the tulip peg tuners which look
suitably (and deceptively) decrepit!
Looks
great, feels great, sounds ace...ace price too, only £299
rrp for a guitar that's looks like it's been around for 40-odd
years on a mission to R-O-C-K? Bargain!
Right:
The Vintage VS6MRCR couldn't look any cooler if it had shades
on...
