If you’re looking
for a different kind of guitar vibe, the new V6JMH definitely has more
‘guitar mojo’ going for it than most... Check that left hand neck on a right hand body, for starters... Not only that, even though it’s a right hand body, closer inspection reveals that the full-toned, matched and calibrated set of Wilkinson staggered pole, alnico-powered single coil pickups are a left hand set, meaning that the polepiece sequence is also inverted, providing a unique tonality redolent of one of the most legendary guitarists ever... Especially as the bridge pickup position is also inverted meaning that the pickup bass side sits nearest the bridge with the treble side angled forward from the bridge! Otherwise, the cool-looking, unique-sounding V6JMH offers all the other impressive build quality and features found in V6 range, a comfortable, accurately-sculpted body; smooth, easy-to-play, mid-depth C-section neck, and a full complement of Wilkinson hardware designed for premium guitar performance. |

Wilkinson® WTB Bridge This classic 3-saddle design has been around for over 50 years and is still regarded as the ultimate ‘tone machine’. Staggered brass saddles offer individual string intonation never before available in a design of this type, still widely regarded as the‘tone machine’. The baseplate itself is a faithful reproduction of the original, made from steel, very important in a bridge of this style due to the tonal effect it has on the magnetic field of the pickup mounted in it. |

‘The V2 offers the traditional bridge single coil... with bags of bright cutting tone and an upper-end clang that can cut glass, while the flutiness of the chromed neck pickup holds its own in the blues-lick field...’ Music Mart |

Featuring a solid
mahogany single cutaway body with a genuine carved maple cap and flame
maple veneer top, the V100AFD Paradise comes with single ply ivory
coloured binding and a cherry red back. With its mahogany set neck and rosewood fingerboard, this is a guitar that looks just as amazing as it sounds. The Paradise comes with a pair of WVHZ Wilkinson Zebra humbucking pickups that provide a seismic punch of chunky rocking tones. As well as the Wilkinson tuners and bridge (a Vintage standard), the Paradise includes a set of chrome straplocks – ideal for those moments when you want to scale the PA stack without your guitar ending up in bits. |

In terms of looks
and attitude, few guitars can match the out and out appeal of the
Vintage V100. Offering an extraordinarily high level of specification,
the build quality and constructional detail of the Vintage V100 includes
a solid mahogany body and neck mated in true ‘set neck’ fashion for
maximum tone-enhancing rigidity. An accurately-carved gently arched body
top additionally adds to the V100’s distinctive look. The mahogany and
maple tonewoods are the ideal recipe for the kind of sounds that this
style of guitar is renowned for – smokey, sultry, sweet-toned bluesy
licks with a warm jazzy feel from the neck pickup help soothe the soul
with an emotional calm. Charging to the other extreme with a flick of
the 3-way selector switch allows the back pickup to rage and rampage
through high gain amplification like no other. The Vintage V100 is a perfect example of Trev Wilkinson’s fascination with tone. Whilst working in California, Trev’s development work in the guitar industry led him to a meeting with the father of the humbucking pickup, Seth Lover. Recognising a kindred enquiring and inventive guitar spirit, Seth Lover imparted to Trev the exact specification of the mythical pickup units he designed, and that same authentic vintage voiced recipe is what Trev uses in the V100’s humbuckers to ensure you can get that elusive iconic tone from the Vintage V100. The V100’s rock solid chassis allows for positive string anchoring and location with the precision-manufactured Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece. On the elegantly-shaped headstock, a set of three-a-side Wilkinson WJ44 tuners offers both the precise tuning feel and accuracy you’d expect from this type of guitar and – of course – the correct look, too. Check out the range of classic finishes available on the V100 and we’re sure you’ll agree that this is an irresistible package of attitude, power and tone! |

| THOMAS BLUGSignatureSeries | |||||
 |
|||||
| Over
recent years, many guitar enthusiasts have admired the virtuosic
electric guitar style of Thomas Blug, one of Europe’s most respected
players. In addition, Thomas’ work as a product development consultant and product demonstrator for Hughes & Kettner guitar amplification means he is a regular must-see feature at music expos and shows worldwide, alongside his own sought-after CD releases and tuition DVDs, as well as performances with the Thomas Blug Band which includes keyboardist Thijs Van Leer, erstwhile mainstay of Dutch rock legends, Focus. Thomas has one of the most recognisable guitar sounds in the world, playing with a fluid, melodic and powerful style, and has over the years, become synonymous with his much-loved and instantly recognisable electric guitar, a well-used faded Olympic White ‘61. As a player who has been the inspiration to thousands of players, Thomas chose Trev Wilkinson, and UK guitar brand Vintage®, to prove the point that it is possible to create in a signature guitar an instrument which faithfully recreates the unique attributes of his beloved white ‘61. With its battle-scarred body, custom electronics and personalised switching all added to the already exceptionally well-specc’d Vintage® ReIssued Series™ V6 guitar, players looking for an edge with this iconic design, and who also perhaps aspire to emulate Thomas’ spine- tingling sound, can now buy exactly the same instrument which he uses in his day-to-day work. “Outstanding”, comments Thomas on his Vintage V6 Signature Model, which we’ve all come to refer to as the “ElastaPlastaBlugaCasta” in reference to the first ever sample the Vintage team showed me 4 years ago, with the brand name covered by a Band-Aid®. “To achieve all this, in an instrument which literally anyone can afford, even a first time buyer, is an unbelievable achievement. Working closely with Trev Wilkinson to translate every subtle part of my guitar has been a labour of love.” “Working with the Vintage® team has proven that there are still people in the commercial side of our business who are total ‘guitar heads’ and who really do care about producing honest instruments without compromise,” continues Thomas. “Getting the best guitars into players’ hands without emptying their wallets and bank accounts! Quite amazing.” |

The V6MRHDX's body is
alder, and it features a hard maple, bolt-on neck with a 71/⁄2” radius
rosewood fingerboard and 21 frets. All the hardware is genuine
Wilkinson, including the three vintage-voiced single coil pickups with
aged ivory covers and Thomas's beloved Bukka switch, which is operated
by a push/push pot on the back tone control and provides a hum-cancelling,
subtly tone-altering extra dummy coil when needed. And it's all wrapped
up in the beautiful Vintage Icon package, with the guitar's body and
parts all meticulously aged to simulate years of onstage use. Topped off
with stunning original artwork, this is a must-have guitar. “I wanted a guitar that looks cool – like Hendrix's, but with all the features of my signature Vintage Icon V6 guitar,” he says. “And it had to play like all the guitars I usually play: pickups in the same position and not a reversed body.” True to Thomas' requests, the guitar features the same top quality specs as his treasured '61 and his original Vintage signature, but comes with a reversed headstock and hand-applied graphics created by German artist Daniel Hahn especially for the Summer Of Love. |

| Nothing gives off that unique, so-cool vibe like a guitar that’s obviously seen some serious use. Like a battle-scarred warrior that always gives its best, the instrument’s character shines through the worn finish, saying ‘this guitar has paid its dues’. Its sound has the heart and soul of a thousand gigs in it and you can feel it when you play it. It feels special to hold, and special to play. | |
