Vintage 25th Anniversary – 2nd Edition

Due to the overwhelming response and demand from music stores and guitarists around the world, Vintage has releases three new models to its 25th Anniversary Series of solid bodied electric guitars and basses launched earlier in late 2020.  

Vintage had originally planned only 3 models, each with a limited run of just 100 units to celebrate a milestone in the company’s history and, to honour their 25th anniversary, a testimony to their success within guitar craftsmanship.  

Looking stunning, with a striking two-tone Silver Burst finish, 25th Anniversary headstock decals and contrasting aesthetics, all 3 new models are once again based on highly successful and popular guitars from the Vintage ReIssued Series, the V6, VS6 electric guitars and the VJ74 bass guitar. 

These beautiful celebratory masterpieces are built on a solid foundation of classic Vintage designs, featuring time-tested Wilkinson and Grover hardware and hand-picked tonewoods, uniting all the innovative appointments that have made these guitars Vintage classics in their own right. 

The 25th Anniversary V6HMSVB with US alder body and one-piece maple neck and fingerboard carries the Wilkinson 6 screw WVC problem-solving vibrato, featuring a stagger drilled, cast block and high-grade steel saddles that enhance classic vintage tones, whilst assuring precise intonation, tuning and accurate return to pitch. 

With a pair of Wilkinson WOVaS pickups in the neck and middle positions, the V6HMSVB delivers a full range of traditional single coil tones in abundance, whilst a WOHZBb Double Coil with a push-pull control for split coil facilities, adds increased power in the bridge position. Six in-a-line Wilkinson WJ55 E-Z-Lok machine heads provide simple, effective locking action for maximum tuning stability. This gorgeous new addition to the Vintage 25th Anniversary Series also looks super cool in its Silver Burst finish.
