“Wilkinson re-designed every component to his exhausting specs...
it was a stunning success.”
The Wilkinson WVC vibrato bridge featured on the
Vintage V6 is a masterpiece of detail.
Positive location, 6 screw design provides return to pitch
accuracy; perpendicular bend, high grade steel saddles
enhance tonality and ‘snap’. Ground base plate corner
provides authentic looks.
Stagger drilled cast block
significantly enhances
return to pitch accuracy
and classic vintage tone.

“It’s rare for a guitar to feel truly effortless
The Vintage V6 Series offers an extraordinarily high level of
specification, with many built-in custom shop level features.
These include the revered Wilkinson WVC original specification
vibrato featuring authentic bent steel saddles fro that classic
sparkle and tone; precision machined pivot points for total
‘return to pitch’ accuracy and a stagger-drilled sustain block to
prevent string hang-up. An adjustable, ‘vintage bend’ push-in
arm completes this definitive vibrato system.

Attention to authentic tone continues with the use of a matched
and calibrated set of Wilkinson Alnico V single coil pickups,
using a reverse wound/reverse polarity middle pickup for clarity
and dynamics and featuring true vintage-style chamfered edge
polepieces. With one volume and two tone controls, the second
neatly wired to work on both middle and bridge pickups, the 5-way
lever switch and control circuitry are configured for maximum
tone, evenness of response and output for supreme versatility.
