VINTAGE V6 ICON - DISTRESSED LAGUNA BLUE (right handed)
Item is brand new opened to check content and take pictures
Distinctive Features:
Distressed Finish: The most striking characteristic is its "Distressed Laguna Blue" finish. This isn't just a colour; it's intentionally aged and worn, featuring simulated dings, scratches, and worn-through areas, giving it the vibe of a guitar that has seen countless gigs and practice sessions. This appeals greatly to players who love the aesthetic of vintage instruments but want the reliability of a new one.
Body: Made from Eastern Poplar, chosen for its balanced tonal properties, resonance, and comfortable weight. The classic contoured body design ensures playing comfort.
Neck: Features a Hard Rock Maple neck with a traditional Vintage 'soft C' profile. This profile is renowned for being comfortable and easy to play, suitable for various hand sizes and playing styles, from rhythm to lead.
Fingerboard: Typically Rosewood (or Lignum Rosa™ in some newer iterations), providing a smooth playing surface and contributing to the guitar's warm tone. It has a 10" radius for comfortable bending and chord work.
Pickups: Equipped with three Wilkinson WVS Alnico V single-coil pickups. These pickups are specifically voiced to deliver classic, vintage-style tones. They offer a great balance of shimmering highs, rich mids, and solid lows. The middle pickup is reverse wound/reverse polarity for hum-cancelling in positions 2 and 4 (bridge/middle and neck/middle).
Hardware: The guitar features high-quality Wilkinson hardware, a hallmark of Vintage guitars.
Wilkinson WVC Vibrato Bridge: This bridge is engineered for excellent intonation and tuning stability, even with heavy tremolo use. It boasts a stagger-drilled block and high-grade steel saddles for improved tone and sustain.
Wilkinson WJ55 E-Z-Lok Machine Heads: These patented locking tuners ensure exceptional tuning stability and make string changes quick and easy.
Controls: Standard Strat-style layout with master Volume, Tone 1 (neck/middle pickups), and a "Custom Mod" Tone 2 for the bridge pickup, along with a 5-way pickup selector for a wide range of tonal options.
Why it's Popular:
The Vintage V6 ICON - Distressed Laguna Blue is frequently praised for its:
Exceptional Value: It offers a high level of features, build quality, and aesthetics typically found on much more expensive guitars.
Authentic Vintage Feel: The distressed finish isn't just cosmetic; many players report that the guitar feels "played-in" and comfortable right from the start.
Versatile Tones: The Wilkinson Alnico V pickups deliver classic single-coil sounds suitable for blues, rock, country, funk, and more.
Reliable Performance: The Wilkinson hardware ensures solid tuning stability and a functional vibrato system, making it a dependable instrument for gigs and practice.
