SKU: V62PU2470

RRP:
£649

The Vintage ProShop V59 Blue Sparkle is another fine example of the highly skilled Vintage ProShop team who are indeed masters of ‘the art of aging’.

These professional luthiers have taken an original V59 from the distressed ICON Series, which in itself, is a guitar players guitar in every sense of the word, instantly recognised with its incredibly authentic aged finish and double bound body.

Whilst the yellowed body bindings and worn areas remain, the Vintage ProShop team have spent hours hand-sanding the original Tobacco Sunburst finish back to first base, then, with years of expertise, have applied a gorgeous Blue Sparkle top coat.

The original wear and tear abrasions are then highlighted once again, revealing areas of the Eastern poplar, offset with a white single-ply pickguard. The distressed theme extends to the bolt-on V62 maple neck and headstock, authentically aged the only way these master craftsmen know how.

Fitted with a pair of Wilkinson single coils the Vintage ProShop V59 Blue Sparkle, is capable of providing a multitude of musical tones, ideal for country, jazz, blues and rock styles. All hardware, including Wilkinson Deluxe WJ55S machine heads, control panel and controls, along with the world famous Wilkinson GTBCR compensating bridge have again, been carefully and meticulously aged to blend into the pre-worn picture.

Vintage ProShop Set-Up includes:

  • 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.
