Here for sale we have a Vintage V100 in Arctic White finish. Made in Indonesia, this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a Mahogany body with a Carved Mahogany top, Mahogany neck and a 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. This guitar is fitted with Gold Wilkinson hardware including a Tune-O-Matic bridge and StopBar tailpiece, as well a set of Wilkinson Deluxe tuning machines with Kluson style 'Tulip' buttons. A pair of Wilkinson MWVC humbucking pickups are installed, and are wired to a 3-way selector and independent volume and tone controls.
The Mahogany neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the classic Vintage ‘soft C’ profile offering ergonomic thumb positioning and easy fretting up and down the neck. The medium jumbo frets and 12" radius provide a robust and smooth playing experience all across the fingerboard, and enhance string bending and vibrato techniques. The single cutaway body design allows the player to access the higher register with ease, allowing for fast lead lines without any obstruction
The Wilkinson MWVC Double Coil humbuckers offer a full, thick tone with plenty of warmth and roundness in the neck position. The middle position with its out of phase tone sounds punchy, with driving mids along with crisp and clear highs making for a unique and diverse tone. The bridge position provides open sustain and broad harmonic clarity, making chords sound crystalline and clear. The Classic wiring provides plenty of versatility without any complicated switching, making this instrument great for tonal sculpting to the players desired taste.

Aesthetic Condition:
Headstock: Overall very good condition. Light scratching to the front and rear faces is visible under direct light, as is common with high gloss finishes. This is most noticeable to the centre of the front face. Light discolouration and finish imperfections are present to the top and sides.
Neck: Overall very good condition. Light scratching to the fingerboard is visible under direct light from certain angles. This cannot be felt under the finger in the playing position and does not impact playability.
Body: Overall good condition. A notable chip to the front face exposing the wood is present to the treble side edge of the lower bout. Circular markings are present around both strap buttons, consistent with the use of a strap. Some areas where the finish feels rough under the finger are apparent around the edges of the guitar, likely a manufacturing flaw. These are however not visible. All aspects of the body show light scratching under direct light, as is common with high gloss finishes.
Condition of Frets:
The frets demonstrate very light signs of use, not affecting playability. There is considerable material remaining for any fret work the new owner may wish to perform.
