When we say “hand created, one-off designs, no two the same” we mean just that.  

If it’s the heavily distressed look you are after, you’ll have to go a very long way to beat the incredibly authentic details of the Vintage V52 ProShop Unique, an outstanding instrument that pays homage to this beloved model of the past.

This is certainly a ‘player’s guitar’ right from the start, with the original Butterscotch finish taken back to the Eastern poplar body in all the correct friction-worn areas with hand tools, and like all hardware, has been re stained with a final clear acrylic coat.  

We already know this guitar is constructed from the finest tonewoods, is loaded with time tested hardware and sounds stunning, and now with these killer ProShop looks, is visually arresting.

It’s the fine details like body lacquer checking, the rusty hue of the hardware and amber lacquered one-piece maple neck and fingerboard that make the Vintage V52 ProShop Unique Butterscotch, another hand-created one-off, ultra-realistic, heavily distressedguitar from the Vintage ProShop Team.

The guitar has received a full Proshop set-up.

Vintage ProShop Set-Up includes;

• Fret-level, crown and polish.
• Fingerboard dress and comfort treatment.
• Truss rod adjustment and set.
• Action height, radius, intonation and pickup height adjustment.
• Nut slot regulation.
