With a striking Ventura Green top coat that’s been hand-sanded to reveal areas of the (American alder or Eastern poplar?) body, this beautiful Vintage V6 HSS ProShop, like all models from the series, evokes stunning individuality, as a one-off custom guitar that’s been through the hands of the Vintage ProShop team of skilled luthiers.
Specifically designed to the specifications of a Vintage guitar enthusiast, who asked the team for an incredibly accurate and authentic model, that looks like for decades it’s been played in just about every club on the live circuit, carefully loved by the owner who couldn’t resist temptation to ‘mod’ the pickup system along the way.
Whilst this beautiful instrument features time-tested hardware that’s also been aged with a subtle approach, and which includes Wilkinson WJ55 patented E-Z-Lok tuners, a Wilkinson WVC vibrato bridge and a pair of balanced set of Wilkinson WVS vintage-voiced Alnico V pickups with the centre coil reversed wound with reverse polarity for hum cancelling duties, our Vintage customer requested the installation of a high output, WHBB open double-coiled pickup at the bridge position, finished in black with matching black control knob, offset by the white aged, 3-ply scratchplate.
Custom spec’s also include a 9.5” (24.13cm) radius fingerboard and initials in green inlaid within the classic Vintage style headstock.
It’s the finest details within the incredibly authentic and expertly applied worn concept, that have earned the Vintage ProShop Series guitars respect from players around the world.
It’s been said many times: Do the Vintage ProShop Series of instruments really sound as cool as they look?…you bet!

Aside from the attention to the fine details of the superb aesthetics, each guitar undergoes a full ProShop® setup, fret level, crown and polish, fingerboard dress and comfort treatment, truss rod adjustment and set, action height, radius, intonation and pickup height adjustment and nut slot regulation and comes with a Vintage® branded luxury gig bag, exclusive ProShop leather strap, pick tin, and tee-shirt, data sheet, and Individually numbered and signed ProShop® certificate of authenticity.
