A Trevor Wilkinson Collaboration That Has Become a Benchmark
The result of a joint effort between Vintage and Trevor Wilkinson, this electric guitar embodies the brand?s philosophy: ?great look, great sound, great playability,? at an ultra-competitive price. The adoption of next-generation Wilkinson components places this model in the lineage of classic ?S? guitars, with perceived quality and reliability that far exceed its category.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
Designed for the ambitious beginner to the confident intermediate player, this Vintage shines in blues, funk, pop, soul, and classic rock. Positions 2 and 4 deliver the typical ?quack? for punchy rhythm playing, while the bridge pickup cuts through the mix for more powerful leads and riffs. Its versatility makes it an excellent ?first real guitar? as well as a reliable stage instrument.
The Sound
The alder provides balanced mids, tight lows, and silky highs. The maple neck adds attack, while the rosewood fingerboard softens the upper spectrum. The three Wilkinson single-coils deliver a clear, articulate, and dynamic tone, responsive to both pick and finger playing. The 5-position selector covers bright cleans, funky rhythms, and vintage crunches reactive to nuances. The Wilkinson WVC bridge offers smooth vibrato and contributes to sustain without sacrificing stability thanks to the E-Z Lok tuners.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve feel and intonation: nickel-plated steel string sets 9-42 (versatile) or 10-46 (better tuning stability in standard tuning) for 25.5" scale electric guitars. Protect the instrument with a ?ST shape? gig bag or hard case. Add a standard adjustable strap and a quality 6.35 mm straight or angled jack cable for stage and studio use.
