Vintage V6JMH Olympia White 'Fillmore' Electric Guitar

General

The Vintage V6JMH electric guitar radiates a genuine Hendrix-vibe. While this instrument is essentially based on the affordable V-6 Series ST model, it's been given a devoted and somewhat unique makeover. To emulate Jimi's weapon of choice, this guitar comes finished in Olympia White 'Fillmore', and while it's definitely right-handed, it's been fitted with a left-handed neck for an authentic 'reversed-headstock' look and feel, and the left-handed configured pickups produce a devoted and unmistakable Jimi-style sound.

The Vintage V6JMH: Jimi's Sound

The magnetic poles of the pickups have been staggered, so that one sits closer to the string than the previous, and due to the left-handed configuration, this creates a different volume balance between the strings to shape that unrivalled Hendrix sound. It's widely known that while Hendrix was left-handed, he always played a right-handed model and just flipped the strings, and as such, even the bridge of the V6JMH is mirrored so that the low-E string sits closer to the bridge, giving the low-end more clarity and the high-end more fullness and presence. Just the way Jimi liked it.

Wilkinson Hardware

None other than Trevor Wilkinson (known for the outstanding quality of his guitar hardware) signed his name to the Vintage brand. It's precisely because of the hardware and pickup quality provided by Wilkinson that the Vintage V6JMH is able to offer so much for so little of your hard-earned cash. Even the wood used to construct this model is of high quality - from the solid American alder body to the comfortable hard-maple neck and 22-fret rosewood fretboard. The attainable price of this faithful and balanced guitar even offers all budding guitarists access to that Jimi-sound and feel.
