If you’re looking for a different kind of guitar vibe, the new V6JMH definitely has more ‘guitar mojo’ going for it than most... Check that left hand neck on a right hand body, for starters... Not only that, even though it’s a right hand body, closer inspection reveals that the full-toned, matched and calibrated set of Wilkinson staggered pole, alnico-powered single coil pickups are a left hand set, meaning that the polepiece sequence is also inverted, providing a unique tonality redolent of one of the most legendary guitarists ever... Especially as the bridge pickup position is also inverted meaning that the pickup bass side sits nearest the bridge with the treble side angled forward from the bridge!

Otherwise, the cool-looking, unique-sounding V6JMH offers all the other impressive build quality and features found in V6 range, a comfortable, accurately-sculpted body; smooth, easy-to-play, mid-depth C-section neck, and a full complement of Wilkinson hardware designed for premium guitar performance.

‘Wilkinson re-designed every component to his exhausting specs... it was a stunning success.’
Australian Guitar magazine

‘It’s rare for a guitar to feel truly effortless (especially when you pick it up for the first time) but the V6 is a joy to play.

Tuning is easy, with the guitar holding pitch well thanks to the E-Z-Lok string-locking system, and the classy-looking vibrato also features highly in our good books.’

The Vintage V6 Series offers an extraordinarily high level of specification, with many built-in custom shop level features. These include the revered Wilkinson WVC original specification vibrato featuring authentic bent steel saddles fro that classic sparkle and tone; precision machined pivot points for total ‘return to pitch’ accuracy and a stagger-drilled sustain block to prevent string hang-up. An adjustable, ‘vintage bend’ push-in arm completes this definitive vibrato system.

Attention to authentic tone continues with the use of a matched and calibrated set of Wilkinson Alnico V single coil pickups, using a reverse wound/reverse polarity middle pickup for clarity and dynamics and feature true vintage-style chamfered edge polepieces. With one volume and two tone controls, the second neatly wired to work on both middle and bridge pickups, the 5-way lever switch and control circuitry are configured for maximum tone, evenness of response and output for supreme versatility.

Luke Thomas – Country Legends

Wilkinson® WTB Bridge
This classic 3-saddle design has been around for over 50 years and is still regarded as the ultimate ‘tone machine’. Staggered brass saddles offer individual string intonation never before available in a design of this type, still widely regarded as the‘tone machine’. The baseplate itself is a faithful reproduction of the original, made from steel, very important in a bridge of this style due to the tonal effect it has on the magnetic field of the pickup mounted in it.

‘The V2 offers the traditional bridge single coil... with bags of bright cutting tone and an upper-end clang that can cut glass, while the flutiness of the chromed neck pickup holds its own in the blues-lick field...’

Wilkinson® Stacked Soapbar Pickup
The VR100 series guitars use Wilkinson® W90SK pickups. In their stacked format, these ceramic pickups offer humcancelling performance, with all the reassuring clarity and bite of the traditional soapbar type pickup.
On these models, the Wilkinson wrap-over bridge/tailpiece combination provides an authentic, direct and lively response, aided by fixed step intonating saddles.

‘But the sustain – wow! Even at low volume levels, and with a moderate amount of gain, these beauties sing, and sing... and sing.’

Benchmarking; Setting the Standard

On the tremolo-equipped VRS guitars, the exclusive ‘wave’ knife edge design gives this sleek bridge the smoothest action of any of any fulcrum vibrato available anywhere. With a stamped steel ‘heat hardened’ top plate, the Wilkinson® vibrato also offers solid stainless steel saddles, push-in tremolo arm and the Wilkinson® ‘stagger drilled’ block for unrivalled tuning stability.

A truly ultra-modern look with classic values.

The fixed bridge VRS110STS guitar features a tidy and efficient intonated wrap-over bridge/tailpiece combination. This robust style of bridge system has seen a resurgence of popularity in the last few years thanks to its authentic tonal quality, the simplicity and effectiveness of the original 50’s design possessing a unique and individual appeal.

The tonal powerhouse of the VRS guitars is the Wilkinson® double coil pickups. Meticulously designed by Trevor, their classically-voiced, meaty double coil tone will capture the heart of even the most sceptical of guitarists. Using straightforward volume and tone controls with a 3-way toggle switch, these versatile guitars move from fruity-toned neck pickup sounds to flat-out bridge pickup excitement – VRS guitars pack tone with punch!

Sumptuous carved tops of striking flame maple with matching headstock facing, radiused edges and neatly scalloped body cutaways add an air of aspiration and sophistication to the VRS series.

Wilkinson Vintage tuners feature the patent pending E-Z-LOK™ string lock system. Neat, quick and easy to use and with no tools necessary, these unique tuners enhance tuning stability.
