You
want tonal options? Italia's far-thinking
Imola 6 has tonal options to spare, and
all wrapped in a good looking package to
boot. Check the cool split single coil pickups,
with treble side forward on each of the
three pickups – add that to a dual
5-way lever pickup selector systems, with
individual split section selection, and
you can do tonal options till the cows come
home! Stylish, smooth contoured body, large
scratchplate and f-hole body – yummy!
A vintage fulcrum vibrato bridge and funky
reversed asymmetric headstock with Wilkinson's
unique E-Z-LOK tuners just add to the Imola
6's undoubted 'wow' factor!

One for bass players with a bit of derring-do, the Imola 4 is part 60s, part 21st century. Striking to
look at and ergonomic to play, it features a classic pickup layout – that's two Wilkinson WBJ pickups,
fact fans – that gives plenty of access to the most essential bass sounds around, and a little
something extra thanks to the Imola's acoustic chambering to its korina body. Available in Black and
Tobacco Sunburst finishes, this is one four-string that really stands out from the crowd, especially in
the way its distinctive f-hole takes a bite out of the scratchplate! If you're hungry for a bass you
can sink your teeth into, the Imola is certainly worth a try.
The Modulo Tipo is an impressive melee of ultra sparkle, with its doublecut agathis
body (with tolex back) sporting a soapbar P90-style bridge pickup housed in an arty
triangular scratchplate. You've got 22 frets to play with here, and a super-smooth
Wilkinson V55OK vibrato bridge for all the bends and wobbles you can handle.
Coming in two amazing finishes – Sparkle Red and Sparkle Black - you can see
where Trev's coming from when he says: “Guitars don't come much wilder than
this! Classic double-cutaway layout with styling cues from the planet ZOG!”

Maranello'61Series
The
timeless, laid-back vibe
of the classic hollowbody
is beautifully reproduced
with the quietly sophisticated
Italia Maranello '61.
Available in gorgeous
Blue and Trans Orange
finishes, the Maranello
'61 combines those authentic
old-school looks and feel
with 21st century playability
– and tones from
everywhere in-between.
The Maranello '61 has
a compact, lightweight
double-cutaway body, but
it features truly heavyweight
tones thanks to two high-output
Wilkinson WHHB humbuckers.
These, combined with a
five-way selector switch,
provide all the classic
sounds a player wil ever
need.
The Maranello '61 is fitted
with an amazing Italia
roller-saddled Vintage
Vibrato system. Suitable
for wobbling, trembling
and dive-bomb sounds,
it keeps tune fantastically
well, bend after bend.
So whether you want to
nail the sounds of Brian
Setzer, Jimi Hendrix or
even Hank Marvin, you'll
get what you need here.

continue with their chequered flag-taking formula
with the go-faster Speedster II. The guitar features
a distinctive korina body with 'cut off' upper
and lower body horns and a set maple neck, topped
off with a speed accessible rosewood fingerboard
– check out those go-faster 'accelerating'
slim split-block fret markers! The sounds come
courtesy of two Wilkinson humbuckers, and topping
off the retro vibe is the solid-mounted Wilkinson
intonated wrapover bridge.
Loud in every sense of the word, the Maranello
Speedster II manages to combine classy minimalism
with exuberant self-confidence. A true player's
instrument with a fantastic neck, great sustain
and awesome tone, it's one of the most most attention-grabbing
guitars around. Available in no-nonsense black,
blue or cream finishes, with a contrast racing
stripe, everyone needs to take the Speedster II
for a spin.

Available
in stunning Red and Black finishes,
the Italia Torino looks as good as
it sounds.
Big-bodied with a slimline profile,
and loaded with Wilkinson WVC Humbuckers,
the Torino is a classy, versatile
monster of tone.
Rockabilly, swing, jazz, blues, rock;
you name it, the Italia Torino was
born to play it. Sonically, it combines
the warmth of the big hollowbody and
humbucking pickups, with the natural
brightness of a maple body, back and
sides to provide a range of tones
which are full, yet present.

The
Italia Torino bass echoes the designs
of some of the most collectable
instruments of the 60s, inspired
with a modern and distinctly original
twist. Like the guitar version,
the Torino bass comes in a semi-hollowbody
construction with f-holes. A tune-o-matic
bridge carries the four strings
over to the neat Italia 'action
angle' trapeze tail, with the Wilkinson
mini bass humbucker and ABR humbucker
providing the tonal heart of this
beautiful bass.

The
unique design of the Mondial Classic with
its unique 'Acousti-glas' alternative material
f-hole style top, hand-built piezo bridge
and Wilkinson WVC humbuckers, creates an
amazingly versatile instrument. Onstage
or in the studio, the Mondial is capable
of tones that are simply not possible with
traditional guitar designs – as you'd
expect from a guitar that's equipped with
not only two vintage-voiced Wilkinson humbucking
pickups, but a piezo-equipped bridge too
so you can blend in any combination of these
totally diverse tone sources!
Excellent range of 60's surf-style colour
schemes, too – so cool!

Created
as the perfect complement to the popular line
of the Mondial 6 string electric guitars,
the bass version offers quite monstrous bass
tones from that giganto single polepiece bass
humbucker sat right at the end of the fretboard!
But the Mondial bass is no 'one trick' pony,
because you can also blend in additional tones
from the bridge piezo pickup for some unparalleled
tonal textures - or simply use the piezo on
its own for that true acoustic bass sound!
How many other basses can do that? And look
this good while they're doing it? Just look
at what else is going on with the Mondial
bass – a funky Acousti-glas moulded
f-hole top is mated to a centre-jointed agathis
tonewood body, with separate controls for
the main neck 'bucker and the bridge-mounted
piezo. And check that adjustable sliding thumb
rest, too – lets you move from acoustic-toned
finger plucking near the bridge through to
seriously big bass tones from that monstro
neck 'bucker!

The Italia Fiorano continues Trev Wilkinson’s love affair with the humble P90 pickup, featuring a
pair of Wilkinson W90 Dogears. Combining these with hollow mahogany body construction and a
spruce top gives the Fiorano a great, rich tone that's full of sustain and sophistication – and is also
stunningly versatile. The set neck is maple, with a rosewood fingerboard of 22 frets, and there's
lashings of chrome hardware to perfectly set off the two available finishes: Cream or Tobacco
Sunburst. If early rock and roll, rock, pop, indie or jazz is your thing, you'll love the Fiorano!
After
we saw the results with the 12 string Rimini,
we just had to do a 6 string version, didn't
we? No more to be said! As with the 12 string,
this stylish, f-hole semi-solid double cutaway
guitar has a real vintage vibe going with
a vibrant range of finishes, including Black,
Blue, Cherry Sunburst and Honey Sunburst.
Again, there's that unique headstock in
a 3 + 3 half slot/straight tuner configuration
this time, with a sweet, warm tone on tap
thanks to the two Wilkinson MHB mini humbucking
pickups.

12
string guitars always sound impressive –
and the Italia Rimini 12 string guitars look
impressive too! With its smooth, flat fingerboard
and extra string spacing, we think this is
the easiest playing 12 string available today.
But we didn't stop there – we wanted
it to be the easiest to tune as well, and
with our unique 6+6 headstock tuning key layout
and design we have created the benchmark for
all future 12 string guitars.
Available with Wilkinson 'vintage voiced'
Wilkinson mini humbucking pickups and, adding
the icing on the cake for that stylish f-hole
semi-solid body, just check out that amazing
optional blue pearloid front finish, or the
vibrant sunburst colour finishes, or the smooth
black version and their beautiful figured
backs and necks... these guitars are a real
stairway to (rock 'n' roll) heaven!

Italia
basses echo the designs of some of the most
collectable instruments of the 60's, imbued
with a modern and distinctly original twist.
The popular Rimini line of Italia guitars
is now available in a bass version, again
with an f-hole, double cutaway semi-solid
body mated to an elegant easy-to-get-on-with
22 fret neck, with a smooth rosewood fingerboard
over a rigid set maple neck-to-body jointing
system. A more conventional 'paddle' style
headstock this time carries the four Italia
die-cast machines, whilst a tune-o-matic
bridge carries the four strings over to
the neat Italia 'action angle' trapeze bridge,
with the two Wilkinson MHB mini humbuckers
providing the tonal heart of the beautiful
Rimini bass.
