Vintage V6MR Icon, Distressed Ventura Green

Vintage V6MR Icon, Distressed Ventura Green Overview

With a traditionally styled Eastern Poplar body and a balanced set of Wilkinson WVS vintage-voiced Alnico V pickups, the V6MR is every bit a masterpiece of detail, classic style, and pure playability.

The WVS pickups feature staggered, chamfered edge pole pieces for classic tone and power, while a positive location, 6 screw trem/bridge design, with ‘push-in’ variable tension delrin-bushed arm, provides an accurate return to pitch; perpendicular bend, high grade steel saddles enhance tonality and ‘snap’, and a ground base plate corner provides authentic looks.

Speed, comfort, and ultimate playability are provided by a Classic Vintage ‘soft C’ profile Maple neck, and a traditional 10" radius fingerboard. 22 Medium Profile frets add to the comfort, accuracy and classic feel of the V6HMR, while the addition of a Graphite top nut, and Wilkinson WJ55 E-Z-Lok locking tuners ensure that tuning remains both constant and stable; staggered string posts, a feature usually only seen on higher priced instruments, provide the ideal string rake angle for smooth vibrato action and correct playing tension.

What Vintage say:

The V6MRVG has the appearance of a battle-hardened road warrior, but comes equipped with the added benefit of some modern embellishments. A trio of Wilkinson WVS vintage-voiced Alnico V pickups give the guitar the perfect balance between scorching highs, rich mids and plummy low end. 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. Play on.
