Here for sale we have a Vintage V72 Reissue Series in Flame Tobacco Burst finish. Made in China in 2015, this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising a Lightweight Semi-Hollow Alder body with a Flamed Maple Veneer, Hard Rock Maple neck and 22 Medium fret Maple fingerboard. Chrome hardware is fitted including a Wilkinson WTB intonatable bridge with Brass saddles and a set of Wilkinson WJ55 tuning machines. A pair of ToneRider Vintage Plus pickups are installed, and are wired to a 3-way toggle switch, master volume and a master tone.
The Hard Rock Maple neck plays very well, with the Soft 'C' profile filling the hand nicely for a suitably vintage-inspired playing experience whilst avoiding feeling cumbersome. The satin feel to the rear of the neck ensures that the 25.5" scale feels easily manoeuvrable, even with the heat and stickiness that can come with playing on stage. The 10" fingerboard radius and Medium Jumbo frets are highly practical for both chordal and melodic playing, with improved string bending and vibrato feel over some of the more traditional models. The Lightweight Semi-Hollow Alder body is comfortable in the arms and easy on the shoulders; perfect for the gigging musician.
The pair of ToneRider Vintage Plus Single Coil pickups installed in this guitar deliver all of the Telecaster tones you know and love but with all of the kick that you would expect! There is plenty of roundness and warmth in the neck position, with a smooth midrange and defined top end that provides plenty of thickness and clarity for your solo tones. The bridge pickup is where this guitar really comes alive though, with a bright, searing bite and buckets of Tele 'Twang' that will catapult you to the front of any mix. The unobtrusive controls are nicely responsive, allowing you to sculpt your sound easily on the guitar without getting in the way of your playing.
