Without doubt, visually, the original V100 ReIssued Series of electric guitars look effortlessly stylish.
Now, with an all-over high gloss boulevard black finish, cream body binding, chrome hardware and black scratchplate, this gorgeous ProShop® model has that ‘no messing’ rock n roll theme throughout, with the carved mahogany body, maple cap and one-piece mahogany neck delivering classic tones akin to this beautiful single cutaway, solid bodied guitar.
It’s from here on, after it’s been in the hands of the highly skilled team of Vintage ProShop® luthiers, this incredible instrument emerges as the Vintage ProShop® V100 P.Rail with a pair of Seymour Duncan® pickups installed, and now arguably one of the most versatile electric guitars available.
Featuring Seymour Duncan’s P.90 design and combined single-coli ‘Rail’ together in one pickup, each unit is multi-functional, delivering the selectable sounds of three of the most famous pickups all in one, the double coil, Soapbar and single coil, three pickups that have dominated all musical styles since day one.
In conjunction with the pickup selector switch and all volume and tone controls wired ‘push-push’ for pickup combinations and coil-tap options, the Vintage ProShop® V100 P.Rail offers a staggering amount of incredible tones, working as a guitar loaded with double coils, Soapbar's, single coils or a host of individual or mixed combinations that are perfect for all styles of guitar playing, from country to jazz, blues, rock, metal and everything else in between.
Needless to say, with a ‘soft C’ neck profile and, super smooth, 22 fret bound rosewood fingerboard with crown position markers, this exquisite guitar is a delight to perform with, whilst vintage styled Kluson® machine heads, 43mm precision cut Graphtech® NuBone nut and Wilkinson T.O.M. bridge, ensure friction-free string bending, accurate intonation, stable tuning and added sustain.
