Vintage V72 Reissued Custom Flame Tobacco Burst 2016 LH Electric Guitar

This is a Vintage V72 Reissued Custom Left Handed Electric Guitar in Flame Tobacco Burst finish. Made in China in 2016, this guitar consists of an Alder body with a Flame Maple Veneer, a Hard Rock Maple neck, and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include Wilkinson WJ55 machine heads, a Wilkinson WTB intonatable bridge, a Wilkinson WTB Alnico Single Coil in the bridge position, and a Wilkinson WDG Ceramic Mini Double Coil pickup. These pickups are wired to a master volume, master tone, and a three-way pickup selector.

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 Wilkinson WDG Ceramic Mini Double Coil humbucker in the neck delivers a thick and full tone, perfect for punchy overdriven blues riffs. This pickup can handle an impressive amount of gain too, saturating into full bodied distortion as you drive the amp. The Wilkinson WTB Alnico Single Coil in the bridge position is particularly bright and twangy, as you would expect from this type of guitar. It cuts through the mix nicely, offering a rock solid platform for country licks.
