There’s just a hint of the original Laguna Blue finish visible beneath the aged Candy Apple Red cellulose finish, of this awesome Vintage V75 ProShop Unique.
This vibrant red top coat has been taken back by hand to reveal areas of the American alder body, representing accurate, authentic wear and tear. The Vintage V75 ProShop Unique is certainly a showcase for the ProShop team, who love to get down and dirty with the nitty gritty details.
Corroding all chrome hardware including bridge plate and brass saddles for example, then lacquering and sealing with a thin coating of light blue lacquer, evokes all the charm and elegance of a guitar that’s walked the walk and talked the talk, for decades. V75 ProShop Unique has a sleek fast neck, with subtle aging and sealed with a cellulose amber coating.
Originally a V75LB, a well respected guitar in its own right from the Vintage ReIssued series, this is the guitar you reach for in the studio or live stage when there’s need for powerful, beefy chords or soaring solos…all from one guitar.
It’s all down to the talent and skills of these master craftsmen, one look at the aged cream scratchplate with darken areas around the neck is the final proof that the Vintage V75 ProShop Unique ~ Red, is another hand-created one-off, ultra-realistic, well loved, well played guitar from the Vintage ProShop Team.
