Vintage V72 ReIssued Electric Guitar - Laguna Blue (V72LB)

Product Description

Vintage V72 ReIssued Electric Guitar - Laguna Blue (V72LB)

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.

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.
