The Vintage ProShop V132PU0673 'Relic' mirrors the iconic single cutaway, solid body guitar design that has enjoyed enduring popularity, through every classic age of the electrified guitar.
The stunning looking guitar is the result of the Vintage ProShop team of skilled craftsmen, who have spent many hours sanding and working with hand tools, on the original Vintage ReIssued Series V132, already a guitar highly respected by guitar players around the world, for its playability and superb sound.
The Vintage ProShop 'Relic' is a real ‘looker’ in every sense of the word.
The original tobacco sunburst finish has been meticulously aged by hand, revealing areas of the original mahogany body. The team’s magic touch is also showcased within extremely authentic aged neck and headstock, whilst ensuring the lignum rosa fingerboard and superb fretwork offers the finest playability.
All hardware, including 3 in-a-row Wilkinson WJ15 Deluxe machine heads, and a Wilkinson T.O.M. bridge have again, been carefully and meticulously aged with subtle shading to blend into the pre-worn picture.
Aside from stunning looks and gorgeous tone, this guitar is a joy to perform with, the graceful descending bass side shoulder has an ingeniously-designed offset heel, providing improved access to the upper reaches of the fretboard.
