THIS GUITAR HAS BEEN SOLD!
This VINTAGE US Pro Shop PSV6HHMRLB modified by Willie Smith has the appearance of a battle-hardened road warrior, but comes equipped with the added benefit of some modern embellishments. A duo of Wilkinson WVC Alnico V PAF’s give this guitar the perfect balance between scorching highs, rich mids and phat low end. The Wilkinson vibrato bridge, meanwhile, features a stagger-drilled block which radically improves the guitar's intonation, while maintaining incredible return-to-pitch accuracy.
