Description
Vintage – Top Quality Guitars without Breaking The Bank
The traditionally-styled Vintage V52 is a guitar that offers serious value for money. Combining top spec build quality and exceptional attention to detail, the V52 features an eastern poplar body and one-piece maple neck matched with top quality Wilkinson hardware and pickups.
Featuring the Wilkinson WTB bridge this classic 3-saddle design has been around for over 50 years and is still regarded as the ultimate tone machine. Staggered brass saddles offer individual string intonation, never before available in a design of this type. The baseplate itself is a faithful reproduction of the original, made from steel, very important in a bridge of this style due to the tonal effect it has on the magnetic field of the pickup mounted in it.
