Vintage V52MR Icon, Distressed Butterscotch Overview
The classic looking V52MRBS is the archetypal workhorse electric guitar, capable of providing a multitude of musical tones from its simple array of pickups and controls. However, in keeping with the Vintage ethos, the ICON Series features some deceptively future-proof design tweaks; the inclusion of the Wilkinson WTB bridge makes the intonation problems often found with with traditional three saddle fixed bridges a thing of the past, while the 'soft C' neck profile allows unparalleled playability up and down the fretboard.
American Alder provides excellent body resonance, and tone, while a Hard Rock Maple neck ensures a classic "snap" is always present. The traditional 10" radius fingerboard provides positive feel and superior playability; 22 Medium profile frets add to the comfort, accuracy and overall positive feel of the Vintage V52.
Pickups are two Wilkinson Single Coils - enabling traditional tones combined with contemporary power. Other features include Wilkinson WJ55S patented E-Z-Lok machine heads, and a graphite nut for excellent tuning stability.

What Vintage say:
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.
