Vintage V100PU1559 V100 Proshop Unique Bigsby

€1.390,00

This Vintage V100 ProShop Unique Bigsby, has a Bigsby and P90 style pickups. This beautiful solid bodied guitar has been meticulously aged by the ProShop team artisans to emulate models from that all important icon era. 

Such authentic and accurate lacquer cracking has been created by heating the body lacquer and then cooling rapidly with freezer spray where the temperature shock naturally causes the lacquer to expand and crack. It’s then in the hands of these master craftsmen to trace out fine detailed cracks with hand tools.

The vintage charm is enhanced further with hardware including pickup covers, bridge and tail-piece given a worn nickel approach to blend into the pre-worn picture.

Aesthetics aside, this is without doubt a performer’s guitar, with a Vintage ‘soft C’ profile neck, sleek low action, fingerboard lustre. With a pair of Wilkinson P90 style pickups this stunning looking guitar is another unique classic from the Vintage ProShop Team.

Fret-level, crown and polish.

Fingerboard dress and comfort treatment.

Truss rod adjustment and set.

Action height, radius, intonation and pickup height adjustment.
