With a metallic distressed gold finish that’s been hand sanded to reveal bronze areas of the US alder body, this beautiful Vintage V6 ProShop Hardtail, like all models from the series, evokes stunning individuality, as a one-off custom guitar that’s been through the hands of the Vintage ProShop team of skilled luthiers.

This gorgeous twin cutaway guitar looks stunning in this alluring finish with additional aesthetics that include an aged amber-tinted neck, headstock, 22 fret maple fingerboard and a pre-worn 3-ply black scratch plate, offset with cream controls and a trio of Lace Gold Sensor pickups with cream covers.

Designed in the late 1970’s as the world’s first noiseless single coil pickups, the USA Lace Sensors Series are renowned for their unique and classic vintage single coil tones, with a bell-like chime, a full fat low-end response, singing midrange and high-end sparkle.

For an exceptionally low-noise performance played clean, or when used with overdrive or extreme high gain the Lace Sensors with additional screening effortlessly buck the hum without any signal loss or clarity.

Needless to say, with a precision-cut GraphTech nut and aged hardware that includes Wilkinson WJ55 patented E-Z-Lok machine heads, tuning is rock solid, whilst the intonation and sustain from the Wilkinson hard-tail bridge is equally impressive.

It’s the finest details within the incredibly authentic and expertly applied worn concept, that have earned the Vintage ProShop Series guitars respect from players around the world.

It’s been said many times: Do the Vintage ProShop Series of instruments really sound as cool as they look?…you bet!
