Looking stunning, with a striking two-tone Silverburst finish and contrasting aesthetics that include a black 3-ply scratchplate, cream pickup covers and cream controls, this beautiful guitar is built on a solid foundation of classic Vintage designs, uniting all the innovative appointments within playability and tone that has made the original V6 itself, a firm favourite with guitar players around the world.
The silverburst V6 features a US alder body and a gorgeous one-piece, lacquered maple neck and fingerboard, while a trio of Wilkinson WOVaS pickups in the neck, middle and bridge positions, deliver a full range of traditional single coil tones in abundance.
Grover machine heads provide simple, effective tuning stability, and the much-loved Wilkinson 6 screw WVC problem-solving vibrato, features stagger drilled, cast block and high-grade steel saddles that enhance classic vintage tones, whilst assuring precise intonation, tuning and accurate return to pitch.
The V6 combines a build of excellent tonewoods, premium hardware and electrics, a solid bodied electric guitar that almost plays itself, finished in this eye catching Silverburst finish.
