Aside from creating incredibility authentic detailed aging within Vintage guitars and basses, the team of highly skilled, professional Vintage ProShop luthiers are equally at home creating beautiful customised examples of these very popular instruments.
The V100PU0443 Green Quilt is a fine example. Originally a V100M from the much-loved Vintage ReIssued Series, this guitar has been a number one with players around the world for its construction, exceptional playability and tone.
The team have handpicked a model with a gorgeous quilted maple top which they have skillfully re sprayed with a green translucent cellulose lacquer, to highlight this popular tonewood’s natural ripple of figured wooden waves.
The result is stunning, offset with gold hardware which includes the Wilkinson T.O.M. bridge and tailpiece, a pair of Wilkinson WVCGD Double Coil pickups, Grover 102 tuners and double bound, 6-ply body bindings.
Needless to say, with a mahogany neck, 22 fret bound rosewood fingerboard, this exquisite model almost plays itself and, with the hum cancelling Double Coil pickups reversed wired, offers exceptional sonic versatility whilst singing with almost limitless sustain with the option of a Push/Pull phase reversal on the bottom tone pot.
With meticulous attention paid to the fine details of the superb aesthetics, the Vintage V100PU0443 ProShop 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.
