The 30th Anniversary Vintage V72 semi-hollow electric guitar is one of the most versatile electric guitars available.
From ice-pick highs to the depths of syrupy jazz chords, this style of guitars have always had all the answers, often referred to by the professionals as the ‘sonic-problem solver’ in the studio and live stage performance.
Whilst effortlessly delivering the unmistakable classic chime and twang associated with this iconic design, the V72's lightweight chambered alder body acts as a natural acoustic soundbox, adding a noticeable low-end boost and warmth to chords and solo note runs. There’s also enough acoustic projection via the F-hole for unplugged couch noodling.
Hardware features that have made this semi-hollow model immensely popular with guitar players around the world include, Wilkinson Platinum Series pickups.
With a beautiful Boulevard Black high gloss finish, green pearloid scratchplate and chrome hardware, the Vintage V72 semi-hollow guitar is visually stunning. Additional aesthetics include, precision cut body F-hole and cream body binding.
The Vintage V72 ReIssued maintains all the sonic characteristics associated with semi hollow lightweight guitars, without compromising tone, output or playability. It's perfect for a host of musical styles from country to jazz, blues to rock, and with a ‘soft C’ profile maple neck and a 22 fret maple fingerboard, it almost plays itself, but not quite.
