Vintage V100 ICON Electric Guitar ~ Distressed 'Lemon Drop'

SKU: V100MRPGM

RRP:
£589

The 'Lemon Drop' is a one-of-a-kind classic. A reverse fitted neck pickup combines with out-of-phase centre position wiring to produce a throaty, singing and instantly-identifiable lead tone, ideal for slow blues. Mismatched tone and volume knobs and an iconised finish ensure the Lemon Drop keeps the mojo working.

Good things come to those who wait – but who has the time for that? The Vintage ICON Series replicates the beautiful, worn-in look and feel of an instrument that has paid its dues, without investing the lifetime's worth of woodshedding, rehearsing, performing and travel. This is a guitar that already looks like your lifetime companion; the best part is your journey is just beginning. Play on.

A Vintage ICON electric already looks like your lifetime companion; the best part is, your journey is just beginning. Play on.
