SOLD - Vintage V52 ProShop Unique ~ Butterscotch

SKU: V52PU0730

RRP:
£699

When we say “hand created, one-off designs, no two the same” we mean just that.  

If it’s the heavily distressed look you are after, you’ll have to go a very long way to beat the incredibly authentic details of the Vintage V52 ProShop Unique, an outstanding instrument that pays homage to this beloved model of the past.

This is certainly a ‘player’s guitar’ right from the start, with the original Butterscotch finish taken back to the Eastern poplar body in all the correct friction-worn areas with hand tools, and like all hardware, has been re stained with a final clear acrylic coat.  

We already know this guitar is constructed from the finest tonewoods, is loaded with time tested hardware and sounds stunning, and now with these killer ProShop looks, is visually arresting.

It’s the fine details like body lacquer checking, the rusty hue of the hardware and amber lacquered one-piece maple neck and fingerboard that make the Vintage V52 ProShop Unique Butterscotch, another hand-created one-off, ultra-realistic, heavily distressedguitar from the Vintage ProShop Team.

The guitar has received a full 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.

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.
