Description
Vintage V6HMRSB ICON Electric Guitar – Distressed Tobacco Sunburst
The Vintage V6HMRSB 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.
A Vintage ICON Series electric already looks like your lifetime companion; the best part is, your journey is just beginning. Play on.
