The Vintage® V6 Series features the new Wilkinson® WVC original specification vibrato featuring authentic bent steel saddles for that classic sparkle and tone, precision machined pivot points for total “return to pitch” accuracy, and a stagger drilled sustain block to prevent string hang-up. A vintage bend, push-in arm completes this definitive vibrato system.

Attention to authentic tone continues, with the use of a matched, calibrated set of Wilkinson® Alnico single coil pickups; using a reverse wound, reverse polarity middle pickup for clarity and dynamics and featuring staggered edge, staggered pole pieces for focus and definition.

Featuring one volume and two tone controls, the five way lever switch and control circuitry are configured for maximum tone, evenness of response and output for supreme versatility.

Comfort contours and radiused edges give the body a familiarity whilst the vintage profile neck and 10” radius 22 fret, overhung fingerboard give an instantly familiar and comfortable feel.

Wilkinson® Vintage tuners featuring the patent pending E-Z-LOK™ string lock system, quick and easy to use, with no tools, provides for hugely enhanced tuning stability, with super
quick string change times.

Staggered string posts, providing the correct break angles across the top nut, ensure accurate tuning, correct string tensions for enhanced feel and aid tuning stability.
