Whether the appeal is for see-through or solid colour finishes, you have to admit, the Vintage© ProShop V65PU2405 with a stunning Inca Silver Metallic finish and amber tint, radiates pure class.
It is of course another showcase model for the legendary Vintage ProShop team of luthiers, highly skilled craftsman who create stunning instruments from the ever-popular Vintage ICON and ReIssued Series of electric guitars and basses.
We understand how that’s hard to believe, as these models are already classics in their own right and, popular with musicians all over the world for their superior tonewood construction, exceptional playability, beautiful sound and superb aesthetics.
With a custom 3-ply white scratchplate off-set with cream pickup covers, control knobs and chrome hardware, the Vintage ProShop V65PU2405 not only replicates the unending appeal of the offset bodied guitar, whilst pleasing armies of cult followers of this classic, timeless trendsetter, it’s the sonic versatility via a pair of Wilkinson W90SK Soapbar pickups that also make this superb model a real problem solver in the studio, and live environment.
It’s the single coil clarity and big meaty double coil characteristics of these pickups that have helped develop the V65 Series guitars as another versatile winner from the Vintage catalogue, effortlessly shifting between jangly cleans and soaring highs, perfect for crystal clear fingerpicking and warm sweet jazz tones.
There’s more than enough to drive crunch and amp distortion channels with an edgy pick attack and classic Soapbar singing mids, whilst the long-arm vibrato system allows for accurate hypnotic pitch manipulation and mesmeric glides between chords.
The Vintage© ProShop V65PU2405 Inca Silver is another hand created one-off, ultra-realistic guitar from the Vintage ProShop Team.
Vintage ProShop Set-Up includes:
- Fret-level, crown and polish.

For years now, our Vintage® technicians and designers have been listening to suggestions from players all around the world.
We've taken those ideas, blended them with our own concepts and visions and in January 2019, Vintage® guitars launched the Vintage® ProShop® UNIQUE concept in the UK and the US, with the talented luthiers and builders in the Vintage® UK and US workshops producing a handful of Vintage® ProShop® UNIQUE guitars, one off master-built instruments created with love, care, and the traditional Vintage® values of super high specification and astonishing ‘bang for the buck’, as workshop concept guitars, flights of fancy and the wild imaginations of our ProShop® teams let loose, using exclusive combinations of finishes, parts, hardware, pickups and accessories to create wonderful one-offs, some of which may make their way into future Vintage® series production guitars and basses.
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.
