When Paul Rose, one of the worldâ ™s most unique and widely respected guitarists asked for his own pair of signature guitars, based on models from the enormously popular range of Vintage guitars, he himself, faced a mighty challenge, how does he choose from so many awesome guitars?
With Paulâ ™s guitar duties taking him all over the world as a sought-after session player, fronting his own band, and playing with a pantheon of the worldâ ™s best musicians, for which he needs a wide range of accurate and authentic 50â ™s and 60â ™s vintage single and double coil tone.
Paul finally decided on the solid bodied double cutaway Vintage V6â„¢, which in itself, has become a firm favourite for guitar players around the world.
Working with the highly skilled luthiers of the Vintage design team, and adding his own experiences, he chose Vintageâ ™s renowned Vintage V6â„¢ solid body, double cut, bolt neck model to be the basis of this outstanding signature guitar. What emerged is the awesome V6 Paul Rose Signature electric guitar, in a worn-to-the-wood Sunset Sunburst finish, revealing areas of the USA Alder body, for a stunning aged patina, set off with an aged 3-ply vintage parchment scratchplate and distressed hardware.
Hardware which includes Wilkinson® Deluxe WJ55CR E-Z-Lok™ locking tuners and Wilkinson WVC vibrato and, to satisfy his needs for power and unmatched tone, this incredible instrument is loaded with a pair of classic Wilkinson WVS single coils at the neck/middle and a Wilkinson WVC double coil pickup with coil-tap facilities at the bridge.
Additional high-end appointments include, a superb â ˜Câ ™ profile Canadian hard rock Maple neck, 22 fret, 7.25″ vintage radius rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays and a GraphTech® nut.
