Members ArKay Posted May 31, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 31, 2008 You have excellent taste in guitars. Had someone said relic, I would have never looked, but that is a beauty. Thanks! I always look out of curiosity, but 8 out of 10 relics are too "over the top" for my taste. This is just a fun little guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tom B. Posted May 31, 2008 Members Share Posted May 31, 2008 HNGD! I love my Vintage, i recently sanded the gloss finish on the back of neck off a bit, and it feels much better now. My only complaint is that the pickups dont really cut through the mix well in a band situation. I have the Vintage TC200 (Telecaster Copy), in blonde. Thinking of picking up the VS6 (SG copy) soon.

Members Tom B. Posted May 31, 2008 Members Share Posted May 31, 2008 Some very bad pics here: TC200 I love the tuners on this guitar, easy to restring and hold tune very well.Thinking of replacing the neck with a maple one, and changing the pickups to a set of IronGear or similar. Not sure if i have the nerve to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cool Yeah, Wilkinson hardware is pretty good stuff, but not everyone seems to like his pickups The humbuckers in the LP are fine though and the stacked P90s in my AV6P aren't bad either.

Members Tom B. Posted June 1, 2008 Members Share Posted June 1, 2008 Yeah, i like the neck pickup. Get a nice smooth bluesy tone out of it. I wish the bridge was a little hotter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pickups in this guitar both read 4,7k which is very low for humbuckers, but they sound OK so I'm not going to replace them just yet. Changing pickups isn't too difficult, go for it!

It's a UK brand, but they are available in Germany as well. Like I wrote earlier, the prices here are not as good though. Some online shops carry them, but I don't know if you will find them in the local stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, it might be worth checking out stores in Wilhelmsdorf and Munich. I know that Music Store in Cologne also has them (FWIW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members larryguitar Posted June 1, 2008 Members Share Posted June 1, 2008 I'm not usually a real relic fan, but that's a tasteful job for sure. And it looks like a 'real' maple cap, from the photos. Nice-or as they say in Chicago-'Noice'!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
