The reverse-fitted neck humbucker and out of
phase centre position wiring created one of
the most recognisable guitar sounds of the genre
– real “Black Magic”.
Differential bell type control knobs, battle
scars and sealed gear replacement tuners all
add to the mojo....
Still got the blues?
Trev's
V100 “Lemon Drop” is a real tribute.
"When I was young and in a band, we supported
the original Fleetwood Mac to play at a gig
we'd organised.
Fleetwood Mac let us use their PA, and Peter
Green even let me use his amp!
He wouldn’t let me use his guitar but
he was always my favourite guitarist....”

“What
a brilliant guitar, looks great
and plays like a real old rocker!”
Geoff Whitehorn |
Nothing
gives off that unique, so-cool vibe like a guitar that’s
obviously seen some serious use. Like a battle-scarred
warrior that always gives its best, the instrument’s
character shines through the worn finish, saying ‘this
guitar has paid its dues’. Its sound has the heart
and soul of a thousand gigs in it and you can feel it
when you play it. It feels special to hold, and special
to play.
But how many people can afford the vintage instrument
of their dreams? That special instrument which displays
a unique level of wear from decades of playing –
at home, numerous rehearsal sessions, smokey pubs to working
mens’ clubs, gigs and tours at home and abroad?
Or how many guitarists can wait 20 years before their
own guitar starts to show that kind of time-related character? |
|
Now
you don’t have to wait! You don’t even have
to re-mortgage the house to make the payment. Renowned
guitar specialists Vintage®, in conjunction with acknowledged
guitar guru, Trevor Wilkinson, have a new specially-aged
electric guitar range that ticks all the boxes –
the Vintage ICON™ Series!
These fantastic guitars, fully equipped with equally aged
Wilkinson tuners, hardware and pickups look like they’ve
been played for decades with all the marks, wear and tear
to prove it. They’ve been through the mill but they’re
cool and ready for the next gig.
Get one of the new Vintage ICON™ Series guitars
and save 20 years of your life! Best of all, you won’t
believe the price... |

Each
hand made Vintage® Icon Series™“Fool”
guitar is a true, ‘one of a kind’
instrument, with unique artwork exquisitely
and individually hand painted, in oils, in a
faithful re-creation of the iconic guitar from1967,
based upon artwork commissioned by the late
George Harrison of The Beatles, for the giant,
world famous, mural painted on the wall of London’s
famous Beatles-owned Apple Boutique by the Dutch
art collective, known as “The Fool”.
The art collective went on to re-create the
vibe of the Apple Boutique mural, in miniature,
on one of George Harrison’s guitars, which
Harrison had given to his friend Eric Clapton.
The guitar has come to be known as “The
Fool” after its creators. The original
guitar was used almost constantly by Eric Clapton
in Cream, and eventually ended up in the hands
of legendaryUS performer, Todd Rundgren.
“The Fool” is one of the most instantly
recognisable guitars in the world. Paying homage
to an earlier era of psychedelia, and some truly
exceptional, all time classic guitar sounds,
the Vintage® Icon series™ “VS6
Fool” is memorabilia brought to life,
an exciting salute to a time of unrestrained
artistic interaction, and creative freedom in
pop art and rock music. |

Australian Guitar magazine
‘It’s
rare for a guitar to feel truly effortless
(especially when you pick it up for the first time)
but the V6 is a joy to play.
Tuning is easy, with the guitar holding pitch well thanks
to the E-Z-Lok string-locking system, and the classy-looking
vibrato also features highly in our good books.’

The
Vintage® V6 Series features the new Wilkinson®
WVC original specification vibrato featuring authentic
bent steel saddles for that classic sparkle and tone,
precision machined pivot points for total “return
to pitch” accuracy, and a stagger drilled sustain
block to prevent string hang-up.
A vintage bend, push-in arm completes this definitive
vibrato system.
Attention to authentic tone continues, with the use of
a matched, calibrated set of Wilkinson® Alnico single
coil pickups; using a reverse wound, reverse polarity
middle pickup for clarity and dynamics and featuring staggered
edge, staggered pole pieces for focus and definition.
Featuring one volume and two tone controls, the five way
lever switch and control circuitry are configured for
maximum tone, evenness of response and output for supreme
versatility.

Comfort contours and radiused edges give the body a familiarity
whilst the vintage profile neck and 10” radius 22
fret, overhung fingerboard give an instantly familiar
and comfortable feel.
Wilkinson® Vintage tuners featuring the patent pending
E-Z-LOK™ string lock system, quick and easy to use,
with no tools, provides for hugely enhanced tuning stability,
with super quick string change times.
Staggered string posts, providing the correct break angles
across the top nut, ensure accurate tuning, correct string
tensions for enhanced feel and aid tuning stability.

WTB Bridge
This classic 3-saddle design has been around for over 50 years
and is still regarded as the ultimate ‘tone machine’.
Staggered brass saddles offer individual string intonation never
before available in a design of this type, still widely regarded
as the‘tone machine’. The baseplate itself is a faithful
reproduction of the original, made from steel, very important
in a bridge of this style due to the tonal effect it has on the
magnetic field of the pickup
mounted in it. |
