ELECTRIC GUITAR
cutting crispiness and fury when combined with overdrive . Here ’ s Green ’ s secret recipe - his unique tone is attributed to an incorrectly replaced rhythm pickup that was installed backwards , creating an ‘ out of phase ’ sound with both pickups engaged . And a little experimenting with the volume knobs while both pickups are activated opens a whole new world of colors . The magic starts the moment you plug it in . But don ’ t take my word for it . You ’ ve got to try the V100 to believe it .
The only regret is that this tribute guitar representing such an important musical icon and built with much consideration and attention to detail does not come with a hard-shell case . I don ’ t believe this addition would have bumped the price much at all . Just a thought - I wonder if Vintage Guitars has plans for a Michael Bloomfield model ? Hmmm .
VERDICT
At last one of the most underrated blues guitarists of all time is getting some respect . Thanks to Vintage guitars , a long overdue tribute to Peter Green ’ s guitar wizardry has finally manifested . V100 is one of the most diverse Les Paul style guitars on the market today and when it comes to tribute guitars , this is the real deal . With a smoking hot basement price that ’ ll have envious Peter Green fans drooling until they get their hands on this prize , I ’ m sure the music stores won ’ t be able to keep them in stock . Vintage Guitars has a knack for creating more than just a worthy tribute to Green ’ s famous ‘ Lemon Drop ’ guitar . They faithfully recreate many other classic guitars as well . ■
