The Vintage V100 is a perfect example of Trev Wilkinson’s fascination with tone. While working in California, Trev’s development work in the guitar industry led him to a meeting with the father of the humbucking pickup, Seth Lover. Recognising a kindred enquiring and inventive guitar spirit, Seth Lover imparted to Trev the exact specification of the legendary pickup units he designed, and that same authentic vintage voiced recipe is what Trev uses in the V100’s double coils to ensure you can get that elusive, iconic tone. The V100’s rock solid chassis allows for positive string anchoring and location with the precision-manufactured TuneO-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece. On the elegantly-shaped headstock, a set of three-a-side Wilkinson WJ44 tuners offers both the precise tuning feel and accuracy you’d expect from this type of guitar and – of course – the correct look. Check out the range of classic finishes available on the V100 and we’re sure you’ll agree that this is an irresistible package of attitude, power and tone! 11
