ReIssued: The S-type Spirit Redesigned by Trev Wilkinson
The V6 ReIssued takes the solid-body codes of the sixties and modernizes them without betraying their DNA. Designed with Trev Wilkinson, it combines a timeless ?Boulevard Black? look with current technical solutions (WVC vibrato, E-Z-Lok) for a guitar ready to handle rehearsals, studio, and stage.
Who Is This Guitar For?
Ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a reliable and expressive electric guitar. Its HSS configuration and responsive vibrato make it a relevant choice for pop, rock, blues, funk, and more saturated styles where dynamics and articulation are appreciated.
Sound
The neck and middle single coils deliver crystalline highs and singing mids, perfect for crisp arpeggios and funk. The reverse-wound middle pickup cancels noise in positions 2 and 4 for clean rhythms. The bridge humbucker adds grain and density for modern riffs and solos that cut through the mix. The alder body combined with the maple neck ensures attack and sustain, while the steel saddles and electronics (1 volume, 2 tone controls including a ?Custom Mod?, 5-position selector) offer a wide and controllable palette.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the best from the V6, choose nickel steel strings in gauges 9-42 (or 10-46 depending on your playing style), a ST-style hard case/gig bag for electric guitar, a comfortable strap with secure locks, and a clip capo designed for electric guitar. A stable stand will protect the ?Boulevard Black? finish between sessions.
