VINTAGE Icon V6HMRLB Ultra-Gloss Distressed Laguna Blue
-Style electric guitar with HSS Wilkinson pickup setup
The Vintage Icon V6HMRLB Ultra-Gloss Distressed Laguna Blue combines the look of an electric guitar played over several decades with modern amenities in terms of playability and sound variety. Whereas the poplar body fits extremely comfortably on the body thanks to its classic contours, the bolt-on maple neck with its comfortable profile and 43 mm nut width offers optimal conditions for the implementation of classical and modern playing techniques. The HSS pickup setup consisting of two Wilkinson WVS Alnico V single-coils and a Wilkinson WVC humbucker delivers an extremely versatile sound spectrum that skilfully covers the traditional sounds of blues, funk and rock. Last but not least, the Vintage Icon V6HMRLB Ultra-Gloss Distressed Laguna Blue is equipped with a Wilkinson WVC vibrato system and Wilkinson WJ55 tuners with convenient E-Z-Lok function.
The Vintage Icon V6HMRSSB Ultra-Gloss Distressed Laguna Blue not only convinces with its authentic vintage look, but also with versatile sounds and comfortable playability.

Vintage Icon V6HMRLB Ultra-Gloss Distressed Laguna Blue
I purchased the Vintage Icon V6 as a replacement for a Fender Player Strat that went missing on me, and I can honestly say the V6 is a superior guitar in all aspects. A very pleasant surprise, and a product I would recommend to even the most experienced guitarists.
This particular guitar - neck didn't resonate well. Disappointed it was a four-piece body. Have had other vintage V6's that have been excellent. Not this one though, unfortunately.
