Product Description
-------------------
The V6H is instantly identifiable to fans of Texas
blues, but comes with the added benefit of some modern
embellishments. A Wilkinson Double Coil pickup in the bridge
position gives the guitar more bite and thickness for gain-laden
lead lines, whilst eliminating hum. The Wilkinson vibrato bridge,
meanwhile, features a stagger-drilled block which radically
improves the guitar's intonation, whilst maintaining incredible
return-to-pitch accuracy. Good things come to those who wait –
but who has the time for that? The Vintage ICON Series replicates
the beautiful, worn-in look and feel of an instrument that has
paid its dues, without investing the lifetime's worth of
woodshedding, rehearsing, performing and travel. This is a guitar
that already looks like your lifetime companion; the best part is
your journey is just beginning. Play on. A Vintage ICON electric
already looks like your lifetime companion; the best part is,
your journey is just beginning. Play on.
