Revisited Icon: The ReIssued Line by Trev Wilkinson
The V6H belongs to Vintage's "ReIssued" series, designed to combine the aesthetics of classic guitars with modern reliability. Conceived by Trev Wilkinson and the Vintage UK team, it retains the hallmarks of legendary models while integrating precise craftsmanship and hardware optimized for today's stage.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists, the V6H effortlessly adapts to blues, rock, funk, and pop repertoires. Its HSS configuration covers bright rhythms, clear arpeggios, and high-gain solos, whether in the home studio, rehearsal, or on tour.
The Sound
The WOVaS single coils deliver an airy, snappy tone, perfect for "glassy" sounds and percussive rhythms. The WOHZBb humbucker at the bridge provides natural compression, sustain, and power for modern riffs and saturated leads. Alder offers balanced mids and precise lows, while the maple neck adds attack. The 5-position selector and "Custom Mod" tone control multiply tonal combinations, while the WVC vibrato and steel saddles enhance intonation, tuning stability, and consistent sustain.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Nickel-plated steel strings 9-42 (or 10-46 if you play harder) for 6-point vibrato, adjustable strap with secure locks, quality instrument cable, and stable guitar stand. A padded gig bag or hard case for ST-shaped electric guitars will provide suitable protection during transport.
