The Vintage® V6 ProShop® Custom Build V6PC0748 authentically aged Fast Eddie style tribute guitar. Featuring a bespoke KGB Brass Scratchplate and a combination of brass and chrome hardware.
Neck and mid Wilkinson WVS pickups give a perfect balance between lo-noise vintage and modern tone with scorching highs and rich mids, while the bridge Alegree Old Timer 'Scoop' pick up made with alnico 5, which was commonly found in PAFs, this gives these pickups a more scooped, bright and focused tone.
The Wilkinson vibrato bridge, meanwhile, features an innovative stagger-drilled block which radically improves the guitar's intonation, whilst maintaining incredible return-to-pitch accuracy.
The V6PC0748 has been authentically aged and reliced, designed and hand crafted by the Luthiers at ProShop giving a unique look and feel.
Whether you're searching for your first guitar or your last, every Vintage ProShop is designed and hand-built by our Luthiers to your exact specification and will be unique to you.
