Vintage V6HM ReIssued, Boulevard Black Overview
With a traditionally styled American Alder body, two Wilkinson WOVaS Single Coils providing a range of traditional tones, and a WOHZBb Double Coil adding increased power in the bridge, the Vintage V6HM in Boulevard Black is every inch a masterpiece of detail and playability.
The Wilkinson WVC vibrato bridge featured on the Vintage V6 is a masterpiece of detail; a positive location, 6 screw design provides return to pitch accuracy; the perpendicular bend, high grade steel saddles enhance tonality and ‘snap’; the stagger drilled cast block significantly enhances return to pitch accuracy and classic vintage tone; and the ‘push-in’ delrin-bushed arm with variable tension provides the arm feel that suits your style. Additionally, the comfort, speed, and sheer playability of this guitar - enhanced by way of a Classic Vintage ‘soft C’ profile Maple neck, and a 10" radius Lignum Rosa™ fingerboard - ensures that your style and technique are not compromised. Medium profile frets add to the comfort, accuracy and overall positive feel of the Vintage V6, while the addition of a Graphite top nut, and Wilkinson WJ55 E-Z-Lok locking tuners ensure constant and stable tuning.
Whether you're searching for your first guitar or your last, every aspect of the Vintage V6HM ReIssued Series makes it a keeper. Play on.
What Vintage say:
The Vintage ReIssued Series V6HMBB combines the very best of time-served aesthetics and forward-thinking design ingenuity. A pair of Wilkinson WOVaS Single Coil pickups give the guitar the perfect balance between rich mids and detailed low end, just what you'd expect from a guitar of this nature. To complement the elegance of the single coils, the bridge pickup is a super-charged WOHZBb Double Coil, for high output volume and increased harmonics, ideal for high gain soloing. The Wilkinson vibrato bridge, meanwhile, features an innovative stagger-drilled block which radically improves the guitar's intonation, whilst maintaining incredible return-to-pitch accuracy.
