Full Description
View Full DescriptionWondrous single-coil pickups
Crisp and clean... but with bite. There really is no other way to describe the three Wilkinson WVS pickups positioned on this guitar. They present a classic rock tone that is enough to feel as though you're slipping back in time. Immerse yourself in a thrilling performance, gig after gig, where every note pierces through the mix with excellent power. Not a note will be lost, these pickups' wonderfully balanced tone gives you sizzling highs, pronounced mids, and solid lows. They're perfect for capturing the sound of rock 'n' roll whilst also offering enough versatility to make your own mark.
If a legendary tone isn't enough, the controls on this guitar allow for even more tonal creativity. Explore the possibilities of each pickup or combine them any way you please using the 5-way pickup selector. From the rounded tone of the neck pickup to the aggressive snappiness of the bridge, the choice is all yours. Better still, sculpt with incredible precision via the integrated tone and volume controls.
A neck with infinite potential
If you're going to show off unashamedly, you'll want a slick neck and fretboard that will do you justice. Crafted from maple, the neck is not only sturdy, but also improves tonal qualities with great effect. It is the ideal wood for gigging with thanks to its high density which lends itself to quick note decay, resulting in minimal feedback and glistening clarity. Even when you're strumming, every note will ring out separately and gloriously. Mounted onto such an exquisite neck is the lignum rosa fretboard, another enticing feature of this guitar. Its smooth finish accommodates anything from ferocious riffing to magnificent blues solos.
Robust and durable
Don't hold back. The hardware of this guitar has been designed to provide you with the utmost stability, a much-needed attribute for any wild playing or tough usage. WJ55 E-Z-LOK machine heads allow for speedy string changes whilst offering reliable tuning stability. Perform with expressive vibrato or pitch bends using the Wilkinson WVC tremolo without worrying about slipping out of tune. Prepare for a truly amazing performance.
