Vintage V6 ReIssued Series - Pickers Parts

Yeah, those do look cool - I'd love to try one out.....

They've got great reviews in the music mags over here, and I've used a fair bit of the Wilkinson harware in upgrades, pups, trems and tuners, good quality and great value for money IMHO. They do a tasty version of a certain white guitar as well, the V6JMH

I've been wanting a red guitar. That one looks great.

Where is that Reverse Strat located on the sight? I've been wanting to build one. maybe this is the way for me to go.

You have a link for it?

[Strat-Man-Do]

Where are they across the pond, US? You guys in Europe always get the Cool Stuff..LOL

We can get them in Canada. I picked up a Vintage Icon Gold top Les paul with Wilkinson p90s. I had to get a fret level but it is a sweet guitar.
400 Can. with a 100 dollar fret job.
The reliced strats are very nice as well.

Not a squer but a good gauge of the quality.
Vintage guitars come stock with Wilkinson hardware and pickups.
Vintage guitars are distributed by John Hornby Skewes in Britain. Check out their web site you will be amazed http://www.jhs.co.uk/vintageelectric.html
Picker parts must be a dealer for them.
When you get to the Website click Catalogue and download it. Check out the Icon series.

Them are cool looking,and the price is reasonable,like to play one next to a CV or a Fender.

Picker doesn't show the full line up from Vintage. I only paid 419 for my V100 GT. The Icon series is killer. They make a "Lemon Drop" which is an exact reiplica of the Peter Green/Gary Moore Les Paul. A buddy of mine in England bought it and it sounds amazing.
Their Reiliced Strats and Les Pauls are really well done. The wilkinson pickups are very nice.
They are made in Asia and are very well done. I had a couple of high frets on mine so I had my tech do a fret level and set up. 100 bucks and worth every penny.
The company JHS is very good to deal with, and I have had emails from their head of production, and Trev Wilkinson about the P90s. Their prices are based on the UK pound so it will fluctuate with the US Dollar. I have compared my GT to the Epiphone GT and mine wins hands down, with the Wilkinson hardware and the stacked Wilkinson P90s.
For a couple of hundred less.
Now I don't know about the Strats being as nice as the CV50s, I really haven't played them much, but I would really doubt they could match that quality.
If you get a chance listen to the sound clips for the various guitars on there website.
Pretty cool stuff.
