What's Up Party People?! Today, we are doing a deep dive into this wonderful new 25th Anniversary VS6 that was just sent to me by Rick over at RBI Music, the US distributor for Vintage (the brand) guitars.
I've had it for a few weeks and now and honestly havent been able to put it down.
Vintage made 100 of this style guitar, 100 of their VJ74 bass and 100 of their V6 strat-style guitar with a maple fretboard.
**************** The US has only received 10 to 12 of EACH, so make damn sure you get one now before its too late! ***************
This is a fantastic chance to get a collectible piece of gear for under $1,000.
Here are the specs per Vintage Guitars Uk's website:
Body:
The VS6SVB maintains the original and unique double cut VS6 styling that has proven a winner with guitar players around the world, who love the ingeniously-designed offset heel and enhanced treble side cutaway, providing improved access to the upper reaches of the fretboard.
Mahogany is the perfect choice for body and neck. With a density that offers the perfect balance on the shoulder, this highly respected tonewood provides excellent low frequencies, well-defined mids and soaring highs.
Pickups:
Paired with the VS6SVB’s mahogany construction, a Wilkinson WOHZBb Double Coil pickup in the neck and bridge positions, provide exceptional output and tonal qualities. Played clean, the neck pickup delivers the warmest mellow jazz tones, whilst the bridge unit has edge and sparkle. When played with crunch or distortion, the VS6SVG is perfect for overdriven chords and soaring solos.
Controls:
Twin master Volume and Tone controls with three-way pickup selector switch.
Bridge:
Wilkinson Tune-O-Matic bridge enables fine-tuning of each string, for accurate intonation all over the fretboard.
Neck and Fingerboard:
With a one-piece, C profile mahogany neck, bound headstock and bound rosewood fingerboard with crown inlays, the VS6SVB is visually striking and, like the original VS6, this beautiful guitar delivers incredible tonal accuracy with superb playability and feel.
Nut:
A precision cut 43mm GraphTech NuBone nut ensures a smooth, friction free string bending and stable tuning.
Scale Length:
24.75" / 628mm.
Frets:
22 Medium Jumbo profile frets ensure comfort, accuracy and an overall positive feel.
Machine heads:
The VS6SVB is loaded with original Grover Rotomatic® machine heads, with a high 18.1 ratio gearing, for finer tuning, greater stability and a high degree of backlash elimination.
