New from Vintage Guitars, and proving to be a popular addition to their 'Reissued' range of classic guitar designs, the V52 is an excellent version of a classic TC style electric guitar.

Based on the design of 1952, the V52 features a Maple neck and fingerboard. And at a great price it's excellent value for money.

The headstock is slightly oversized, the 52 having a golden lacquer. The back of the headstock has a single row of 6 chrome Kluson style machine heads, all connected, with small chrome vintage style buttons.

The neck feels wide and shallow, a broad D profile, nut width is 42mm. The rear has the same finish as the headstock, a glossy feel, with a Rosewood strip running down the centre where the truss rod has been fitted.

The fretboard is Maple, golden in colour, with a slight gloss finish, though not lacquered to any extent, with dot position markers and 22 Nickel frets all well dressed.

The neck is bolted to the Alder body, joining at the 17th fret on the bass side, and 21st on the treble, so no upper fret access problems here.

Fairly weighty but not as heavy as some, the body feels solid and gives good resonance. The front has a large black scratchplate, and a long Chrome control plate with the 3 way selector switch, single tone and volume control. All very simple.

The neck pickup is a Wilkinson 'lipstick' style, with an open single coil slanting across the 'ashtray' bridge. The strings pass through the body and over 3 brass saddles.

The guitar plays very nicely, a good comfortable playing position, bright and clean tones. Plugged in, it's everything you'd expect from this style of guitar, plenty of jingle jangle, great for country, pop and blues, turn to the overdrive channel and the guitar turns into a sonic beast, punk, rock and power pop come out with loads of clarity and grunt.

An excellent addition to Vintages popular electric guitar range, this guitar has been a long time coming but it's been well worth the wait!
