V6PC0017 Features:
Body:
Eastern poplar body provides resonance, tone and ‘correct weight’ comfort, enhanced with correctly radiused contoured body.
Vibrato:
The Wilkinson WVC vibrato bridge featured on the Vintage V6 is a masterpiece of detail. Positive location, 6 screw design provides return to pitch accuracy; perpendicular bend, high grade steel saddles enhance tonality and ‘snap’. Ground base plate corner provides authentic looks. Stagger drilled cast block significantly enhances return to pitch accuracy and classic vintage tone. The ‘push-in’ delrin-bushed arm with variable tension provides the arm feel that suits your style.
Gold finish.
Pickups:
Two Bare Knuckle '63 Veneer Board single coils, based on some of the slightly hotter coils from '63 and '64, with the slightly smaller diameter Alnico V magnets. The hotter wind helps to add body to the tone, while the smaller hand-bevelled magnets focus the magnetism under the strings.
Bare Knuckle 'The Mule' bridge pickup. A classic 'Patent Applied For' vintage tone with exceptionally balanced frequency response.
