For a guitar that stands out from the crowd, the V6PU0001 ProShop is a true winner, with an expertly applied and aged, Shoreline Gold finish over the body, neck and headstock, off-set with a 3 ply, red tortoise shell effect scratchplate and loaded with a trio of Lace Sensor Hot Gold pickups. 

Lace Sensor Hot Gold pickups are renowned for their incredibly low noise operation, without any loss of volume or tone. With their own unique design, they deliver a bell-like chime with a full fat low-end response, singing midrange and high-end sparkle, for classic single coil vintage tones. For an extensive range of tonal characteristics, both tone controls are custom wired to operate the neck and middle/bridge pickups, for classic single coil vintage tones. 

Aside from the stunning looks and effortless playability, the V6PU0001 ProShop is a guitar player’s guitar in many ways, based on the popular Vintage ReIssued Series V6, built on a solid foundation of timeless Vintage designs, time-tested Wilkinson hardware and hand-picked tonewoods that have made these guitars themselves, Vintage classics. This gorgeous V6PU0001 ProShop combines an incredibly authentic worn concept of a well played, but looked after guitar from the early 60’s…with upgraded appointments. 

With meticulous attention paid to the fine details of the superb aesthetics, the V6PU0001 ProShop comes with a Vintage ProShop Set-Up: 

  • Fret-level, crown and polish.
  • Fingerboard dress and comfort treatment.
  • Truss rod adjustment and set.
