Already a classic in itself, the Vintage V59 with cream body bindings has received an additional aging process applied by the Vintage ProShop team, the only way they know how.

The original high gloss finish has been meticulously taken back by hand, revealing the Eastern poplar body in all the right places to portray a guitar that lost its original high gloss glow decades ago, having spent most of its life working hard on the live circuit, whilst having been cared for impeccably along the way.

All hardware, including Wilkinson Deluxe WJ55S machine heads, control panel and controls, along with the world famous Wilkinson WTB compensating bridge, have also been authentically aged to blend into the pre-worn picture.

With a hard rock maple neck, shaped with a classic Vintage ‘soft C’ profile and 22 fret maple fingerboard, this guitar is a delight to perform with and, like all Vintage guitars fitted with Wilkinson single coil pickups, the VV59PU0167 effortlessly delivers a foundation of solid lows, a defined mid-range and a crystal clear, high-end sparkle that’s perfect for country, blues, pop and rock.

What can be more alluring for the guitarist yearning for a guitar that looks like it’s been played within an inch of its life for the last 50 years?....a Vintage® ProShop® guitar.
