The V75PU0324 Pro Shop mirrors the exact same simplicity and rock solid stability that have made the original design, one of the most popular models in the history of the electric guitar….but now with upgraded appointments.
Based on the ReIssued Series Vintage V75, a classic in itself, the V75PU0324 ProShop is also finished in the same, striking Laguna Blue with contrasting ultra-cool black on white, paisley scratchplate over an America alder body.
American alder has been specifically chosen for its resonance and natural sustain and the perfect choice, to excite the bite of the Jerry Donahue signature Seymour Duncan APTL-3JD bridge pickup and the unmistakable smooth warmth of the APS-2JD neck pickup. Both units have been custom designed with a balanced field for even response, to distort ‘earlier’, yet retain a clean, vintage-like tonality.
Aside from the attention to the fine details of the superb aesthetics, the V75PU0324 comes with a Vintage ProShop Set-Up:
- Fret-level, crown and polish.
- Fingerboard dress and comfort treatment.
- Truss rod adjustment and set.
- Action height, radius, intonation and pickup height adjustment.
- Nut slot regulation.

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.
