With a striking and rare two-tone Silver Burst finish, the V100SVB, one of three models within the Vintage 25th Anniversary Series, looks stunning with double-bound, multi-ply ivory body and headstock bindings, 25th Anniversary headstock decal, contrasting black bell style controls, black pickup surrounds, black/white multi-ply pickguard and chrome hardware.
The V100SVB follows tradition with a body and neck of hand-selected mahogany, chosen for its consistent warm, mellow tonal response, providing excellent lower and mid frequencies and superb sustain for old-school jazz and blues, whilst winding up the V100SVB’s tone controls and the carved maple cap adds clarity and hard edged bite that’s perfect for all rock styles.
A guitar’s pickups are of course the other half of the sonic equation, and what better way to bring out the tonal characteristic of this exceptional 25th Anniversary Series guitar, than with a pair of Wilkinson WOCHB hot ceramic dual coil pickups for a focused, detailed open response that remains clear with the guitar backed off, and right there in your face at full tilt, for big punchy tones.
The fast, sleek high gloss neck, with edge-bound, 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard inlaid with crown-style position markers, is straight off the ‘plays itself’ shelf for effortless accuracy with a great feel.
With a 14.1 gear ratio, Grover 102C Original Rotomatics are the perfect machine head choice for the V100SVB. Smooth in operation and featuring Grover’s unique precision-cut worm and gear system, for perfect meshing that eliminates string backlash and slippage. A GraphTech NuBone nut ensures friction-free string bending, whilst at the other end, a Wilkinson Tune-O-Matic bridge provides ultimate fine-tuning of each string for superb intonation.
Like all three Limited Edition models in the exquisite Vintage 25th Vintage Anniversary Series, the V100SVB comes complete with a Vintage 25th Anniversary embroidered canvas gig bag and individually numbered certificate of authentication.
