VINTAGE®
'LEMON DROP' ICON - LEFT HAND
Probably
the most popular guitar in the amazing Vintage pre-distressed
Icon series, the Lemon Drop was introduced as guitar designer
Trev Wilkinson’s tribute to his guitar playing icon,
Peter Green. Designed to look as if it had indeed had rather
a hard life playing the blues in many a smokey pub and club
over the years, the Lemon Drop also felt the part to play
with a truly authentic tone, thanks to Trev fitting a pair
of his carefully-wound PAF-a-like humbucking pickups, with
their aged nickel covers adding subtle colour to the sound.
With a flame maple-capped mahogany body and set-in neck, the
value factor of the VR100MRPGM is immense. And of course,
Trev being Trev, he’s custom-wired the control circuitry
to give that distinctive thin ‘honk’ when the
selector is mid-position, reminiscent of Greeny’s wonderfully
nasal tone as heard on early Fleetwood Mac songs such as ‘Need
Your Love So Bad’ and ‘Stop Messin’ Around’.
And the now-available lefty version also features the famously
accurate detailing such as the differential bell type control
knobs, all the famous ‘battle scars’, and the
sealed gear replacement tuners - with ‘original’
machine head locating screw holes also present - now that’s
attention to detail!
This guitar is guaranteed to make sure you still got the blues
whilst losing your ‘no left handers available’
blues simultaneously!
The left hand Vintage LV100MRPGM 'Lemon Drop', pictured right,
offers great value at £409.00 rrp.
