All user reviews for the Vintage V6 Reissued

Wilkinson on paper (one English), renowned for mechanical - bridge and floyd which make China a cheap guitar. Imitation strat more? yes but with micro mechanical wilkinson wilkinson low must see ...

UTILIZATION

Factory setting to be redone, but perfectly possible to achieve an easy game with perfect string height. Good handle.

SOUNDS

This is the miracle! it sounds better than most strats marketed.
I have a super deluxe ash and Eric Johnson signature, I love all these guitars, deluxe is very clean without noise but no soul either. The sound of the Vintage V6 is very close to Eric Johnson with upper neck pickup and middle neck / middle and slightly shrill bridge pickup.

OVERALL OPINION

The violin is Chinese but the overall balance is very good because of its so close strats with a "dirty" side and clear that we love with the experience.
This is a student who arrived in progress with this guitar that made me discover I was jealous of his sound. An article in "Guitarist Magazine" June / July 2007 confirms the impression of those who tried it. Guitarist Magazine: "quality / price ratio outsized 10/10.

It is a copy of Eric Clapton Stratocaster (it is manufactured in Asia, Indonesia).

It features as its big sister (What a Start!) All equipment (microphone, easel, mechanical vibrato) are brand Wilkinson.

Listed violin, it is in the spirit of the original model (scratched and worn), but all wear are protected by a patent.
on the other hand and down it hurt, finishing strips on the sides of the handle (they are not adjusted and beyond), so the sudden I am typing to adjust, Lime and polishing fine sandpaper (sure, for those who can not do it at the luthier that we must go).

UTILIZATION

The neck is not painted, fine V is particularly enjoyable to play (a real pleasure, after the alterations mentioned above).

Access to acute is very good.

It is barely lighter than a stratovolcano (I know I have a U.S.), perfectly balanced standing or sitting, really nice to play it does not smell.

As soon as one branch, the sound is very Fenderien, slamming and accurate.

SOUNDS

Is not to say it is shaped to blues and rock (Clapton's!).
The Wilkinson pickups are particularly effective, powerful, sharp (sharper than on my strato U.S.) and without interference, so a perfect shield.
Sounds off phase (position 2 and 4) are beautiful.
J'utilse a Laney LC50 tube amp, with which it is happiness, it's terrible crunch.
It accepts pedals very well, (tube screamer, Metal Zone, vox wah wah .......) it is still very accurate.
With the tube screamer, blues and hello to the metal box, hello deep purple.
Vibrato side, after adjustment, it holds the tuning without flinching, this is awesome (thank you Wilkinson)
Really, all sonoritées are good.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been two months that I have.
I love everything about this guitar (except finishing strips of the handle).
I wanted a guitar to take with me on a journey, staring at me with the following criteria: cheap, not fragile, playable.
I looked in a price range of 250 E max, but nothing I tried, then I saw the Vintage range of guitars with good reviews in general and that it was less fragile because already worn original hi hi hi!.
Excellent value for money I ordered from London ( http://www.dv247.fr/ ) delivered in 48 hours for a price of 235 E, while in France it is in the 350 E and then it is virtually untraceable .
I really recommend this guitar for travel but also to perform on stage.
Go there without any problems (note the violin side of the handle, I put 9 because of that).

Poplar body
Maple neck stuck
Rosewood
22 frets
Inlays Pearloid dots
Mechanical Wilkinson WJ55 EZ-Lok
Wilkinson WVC Tremolo
3 micros simple Wilkinson
1 volume
2 tones
5 position switch

UTILIZATION

Ergonomics: it stratum. Lightly.
Handle very nice, fast. Electronics correct (not sizzling), but must be improved.
Like perfect agreement.
The vibrato is good, does not awry (I Divebomb not like crazy either). I took a Hipshot tremsetter in case, I've never mounted.
The lack of progressivity knobs for tone (as on most tracts I've tried)

SOUNDS

I play on a Blackheart BH5-112 combo.
This guitar has excellent sound, very good vintage twang. The 3 simple microphones have very different sounds to have more sounds nice. Intermediate positions are very good.
Perfect for playing Shadows, for example.
Doing well in saturation with a good pedal even if the output level of the microphones is small. Goes very well with a big muff for example!


OVERALL OPINION

I bought this guitar "to cheap" as the first layer (already a great strat) and wanting something better eventually, I sold my vintage then took a mex fender and mounted microphones 57/62. I find this thought are better.
In the end I sold the mex with 57/62 and resumed a vintage. The 57/62 are great, but all the same and too polished. The vintage one side rougher than I prefer.
The only drawback of this guitar is its finish (paint defects, nail a bit mushy, etc..).
But less than 200 euros in England, it's still a really good guitar.

Manufacturing in Asia it seems to me, wilkinson tremolo of very good quality, very well maintenance agreement

Maple neck rosewood key, 22 cargo, 3 micro wilkinson simple, 2 tone, 1 volume and 5 position

UTILIZATION

The handle is painted very little so slides very well, it is quite small compared to my epiphone really pleasant, but lacking large cargo, it exceeds bocoup ...

Rather light compared to a fender, corp poplar, well balanced, access to the fever is quite correct and the sound is simply great, no matter the position of microphones

SOUNDS

She fully agree to my style (blues funk psychedelic rock), I play with AmpliTube 2, 3, and the Jimi Hendrix version and a vox pathfinder

Position through its very beautiful crystalline rather clean for the red hot or a little wing

Its very fat with the neck pickup, super agree to the cream / hendrix

Bridge pickup a bit garish but the problem is solved by touching a little tone

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months, buy cheap in succession to a epiphone sg lamentable and yet much more expensive.

I tried a lot of Squier, a j5 telecaster signature, Mustang 66, and a yamaha sg, and it has nothing to envy

Like bocoup relic finish rather successful, vibrato and mechanical that takes very good agreement, the microphone that's very good, only problem noted so far: Cargo that exceeds, Jack has come to change

I would do is choosing without hesitation, a really great guitar
