Vintage V6H ICON HSS Electric Guitar ~ Ultra-Gloss Distressed Sunset Sunburst
The V6HMRSSB has the appearance of a battle-hardened road warrior with an ultra-gloss finish, but comes equipped with the added benefit of some modern embellishments.
Featuring a balanced pair of Wilkinson WVS vintage-voiced Alnico V pickups, with staggered, chamfered edge pole pieces, for authentic tone and contemporary power in the neck and middle positions. A Wilkinson double coil WVC pickup in the bridge position provides high output and hum cancelling operation.

This is a guitar that already looks like your lifetime companion; the best part is your journey is just beginning. Play on.
