Results for researching the word ‘emerald’ reveal facts that include ‘a beautiful vivid green colour’, ‘precious rock’ and sparkly ‘gem stone’.
You can also be forgiven for thinking such amazing details were describing the gorgeous Vintage® V100™ ProShop® Custom ~ Emerald Green.
The very popular Vintage ReIssued Series V100 solid bodied, single cutaway guitar alone is a best seller in its own right, earning enormous respect from musicians around the world for its sonic versatility, exceptional build and outstanding playability.
Now, having been through the hands of the Vintage ProShop team of highly skilled luthiers, the V100 emerges looking stunning with a gorgeous emerald green metallic finish, offset with cream body binding, cream pickup covers, white scratchplate, gold hardware and amber control knobs.
Many hours have been spent taking back the original finish of the maple veneer top, then applying a new white undercoat followed by this vivid emerald green metallic finish, with a final cellulose top coat.
Subtle aging with authentic lacquer cracks have been all expertly undertaken by hand, the way only the Vintage team know how, as the V100 Emerald Green emerges as a beautiful looking instrument that’s been played and cherished by the owner for decades.
A pair of Wilkinson® WP90SK stacked soap bar pickups provide a wide range of rich, double and single coil tones, whilst accurate intonation, tuning stability and increased sustain is assured with three-a-side Grover® tulip machine heads, 43mm Graphtech® NuBone precision cut nut, Wilkinson T.O.M. roller bridge and die-cast aluminium, gold plated Bigsby vibrato tailpiece.
With its evolutionary shaped, bound mahogany body, graceful descending bass side shoulder and the ingeniously-designed offset heel, access to the upper reaches of the 22 fret bound rosewood fingerboard is a breeze.
The exquisite Vintage V100 ProShop Custom ~ Emerald Green, is without doubt a unique gem of a guitar that’s ready to rock…and roll!

Aside from the attention to the fine details of the superb aesthetics, Vintage® ProShop® ‘Unique’ guitars, have hardware and electronics from a host of amazing British made and Internationally famous brands, selected to suit the style, vibe and finish of each guitar, with wear patterns and ‘patina’ accurately crafted and applied to emulate the look and feel of a guitar owned and played for decades. All work is by hand and every finish is an individual one-off, with various weathered distressing processes that gives new guitars a killer vintage look, to deliver guitars that exceed the expectations of today's discerning guitarists.
