The V52MRBS is the archetypal workhorse electric guitar, capable of providing a multitude of musical tones from its simple array of pickups and controls. However, in keeping with the Vintage ethos, the ICON Series features some deceptively future-proof design tweaks. Fixed bridges with three saddles are notoriously prone to intonation problems; the inclusion of the Wilkinson WTB bridge remedies this, allowing your leadwork and chordplay to ring true all over the neck. Likewise, a 'soft C' profile allows unparalleled playability up and down the fretboard.
The Vintage ICON Series replicates the beautiful, worn-in look and feel of an instrument that has paid its dues, without investing the lifetime's worth of woodshedding, rehearsing, performing and travel. This is a guitar that already looks like your lifetime companion; the best part is your journey is just beginning.
Eastern Poplar body provides resonance, tone and ‘correct weight’ comfort, enhanced with correctly radiused contoured body. Hard rock Maple neck with classic Vintage ‘soft C’ profile for instant comfort, speed, accuracy and great feel. Traditional 10" radius fingerboard provides positive feel and superior playability.
