VINTAGE VSA500 WITH WILKINSON HARDWARE

Wherever you direct your attention on this guitar, you can’t help but be impressed. The cherry red stain has been beautifully applied, allowing the maple body to just show through. Rock solid Wilkinson machine heads ensure it always stays in tune, while the twin Wilkinson humbuckers provide exceptional tone at the price point. The mahogany set-in neck features the aforementioned offset heal, which really works in terms of facilitating access to the fretboard’s highest twenty-second fret. The controls satisfy the obligatory requirements of the body style, comprising two volume knobs, two tone, and a three-way toggle switch, while the cherry red finish is tastefully set off by the black three-ply pickguard, cream binding and chrome hardware.

All-in-all, this is a fantastic modern take on a classic design, which maintains all the good bits, while adding really practical – and tasteful – additions in the name of usability. Likely to be one of those guitars that players wax lyrical about for years to come! Pick it up now while you have a chance.
