Wondrous humbucking pickups
Load your sound with an exceptional vintage tone. The Wilkinson MWVC humbuckers are voiced in the style of classic PAF pickups and showcase an incredible sound that is rich in dynamics and definition. Their medium-gain output provides ample power for blues and rock guitarists who need gorgeous clarity to flow through the amplifier. They also provide a fat tone with shimmering sustain, so you end up with a full, vintage sound. And, you can carefully sculpt it with your distinctive style using the two volume controls and two tone controls. The ultimate tonal versatility for any avid guitarist.
An excellent tonewood combo
Constructed with mahogany, a magnificent tonewood that has been relied upon for years, the body and neck of the VS6 don’t fall short of exquisite tonal qualities. With wonderful resonance and beautiful warmth, mahogany offers a versatile sound that is suited to other styles as well as blues and rock. Its pronounced midrange leaves plenty of room for glorious harmonies and works well with the clarity brought by humbucking pickups.
Mounted onto such a robust neck is the lignum rosa fretboard, another enticing feature of this guitar. Its smooth and fast finish accommodates anything from ferocious riffing to magnificent blues solos.
Comfort on stage
The last thing you want to be worrying about is an inadequate design that hinders your performance. That is why this guitar has been innovatively designed to provide you with the comfort you need to truly let loose on stage. The VS6 will just be a part of you, you won’t even have to think about it. Featuring an offset twin horn body shape, a soft yet sturdy neck and an angled heel, this guitar allows you to reach the top frets effortlessly. No more muted strings or buzzing notes, prepare for a flawless and truly mesmerising set.
Amazing tuning stability
Don’t hold back. The Trev Wilkinson-designed hardware of this guitar provides the utmost stability, built on years of industry experience. This is a much-needed attribute for any wild playing or tough usage. The Wilkinson Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop tailpiece enable full string adjustability and wonderful transfer of string vibrations thanks to the traditional fixed design. WJ44 tuners then provide speedy and stable tuning so you can be sure that every note sounds sublime. Even better, a graphite nut provides a convenient friction-free platform for the strings to pass over when bending pitches and tuning.
