Vintage – Top Quality Guitars without Breaking The Bank
The Vintage V6MRHDX is a psychedelic tone machine that evokes the spirit of rock and roll in the late Sixties.
Thomas Blug explains; “I wanted a guitar that looked cool, like Hendrix’s, but with all the features of my modern day signature guitar.” In keeping with Thomas’ requests, the V6MRHDX is equipped with the same top quality specs as both his treasured ’61 and his original Vintage signature V6 guitar; meticulously aged parts simulate years of wear and tear, while the 7.5” fingerboard radius, sophisticated switching and hum-cancelling wiring of Blug’s Vintage signature is replicated. Authentic 60s style aluminium shielding under the scratchplate reduces hum and static noise, while Thomas’ ‘Bukka’ switch provides access to extra tones via a push-push tone control.
Imbued with the sense of freedom for creative expression that embodied the age by which it was inspired, the Vintage V6MRHDX ‘Summer of Love’ also features a reversed headstock and eye-catching, hand-applied graphics specially created by German artist Daniel Hahn.
