Finish: Satin Blue

Overview

The Vintage V65H ReIssued Hard Tail Electric Guitar combines classic offset styling with modern reliability and versatile tones. Inspired by the distinctive solid-body electric guitars of the 1960s, the V65H offers a comfortable playing experience, expressive pickup configuration and dependable hardware, making it an excellent choice for indie, alternative rock, blues, surf and classic rock.

Featuring a lightweight USA alder body and a one-piece maple neck, the V65H delivers a balanced tonal foundation with clear highs, defined midrange and a responsive low end. Its comfortable Soft C neck profile, 10-inch fingerboard radius and 22 medium jumbo frets provide a familiar playing feel suited to both rhythm and lead guitarists.

Equipped with two Wilkinson W90SK stacked ceramic soapbar pickups, the V65H combines the clarity of traditional single-coil pickups with a fuller, punchier character. A Wilkinson hardtail bridge, Wilkinson tuning machines and GraphTech nut provide reliable performance, while the Satin Blue finish, matching headstock and contrasting black hardware details complete its distinctive vintage-inspired appearance.

Key Features

Playability and Comfort

The V65H features a one-piece maple neck with a classic Vintage Soft C profile, designed to provide a comfortable grip for chords, riffs and expressive lead playing. Its 10-inch fingerboard radius offers a balanced playing surface, combining comfortable chord work with smooth string bending.

With 22 medium jumbo frets and a 25.5-inch scale length, the V65H provides familiar electric guitar string tension and a responsive playing feel. The offset body design offers a comfortable playing position, whether performing standing up or practising while seated.

Tonewoods and Construction

The V65H features a lightweight USA alder body, a traditional tonewood known for its balanced tonal character, clear top end and solid midrange response. Its bolt-on, one-piece maple neck complements the body's natural resonance, providing a responsive playing experience with excellent note definition.

The maple fingerboard features distinctive block inlays, adding a classic visual detail while providing clear fret position markers.

Electronics

The V65H is equipped with two Wilkinson W90SK stacked ceramic soapbar pickups, designed to deliver articulate clean tones with a fuller, more powerful character than traditional single-coil designs.

• Neck Pickup: Produces warm, rounded tones suited to expressive blues playing, smooth leads and rich clean passages.

• Bridge Pickup: Delivers bright, punchy tones with excellent definition for rhythm playing, overdriven riffs and cutting lead lines.

• Stacked Ceramic Pickup Design: Combines single-coil-style clarity with a fuller tonal response.

• Three-Way Pickup Selector: Allows players to select the neck pickup, bridge pickup or both pickups together.

• Master Volume and Tone Controls: Provide straightforward adjustment of output level and tonal brightness.

Hardware and Setup

The V65H features a Wilkinson WVFS six-saddle hardtail bridge, providing a stable string anchor and individual saddle adjustment for accurate intonation. Its fixed-bridge design offers straightforward maintenance and dependable tuning stability, making it particularly suitable for players who prefer a guitar without a tremolo system.

Wilkinson WJ55 tuning machines provide smooth, reliable tuning adjustment, while the 43 mm GraphTech nut helps reduce string friction during tuning and string bending.

Design Details

The Satin Blue finish gives the V65H a distinctive, understated appearance inspired by classic offset electric guitars. A colour-matched headstock reinforces the cohesive design, while the contrasting black scratchplate, pickup covers and control knobs create a bold visual contrast.

Chrome hardware, block fingerboard inlays and the traditional offset silhouette complete the vintage-inspired aesthetic, making the V65H a stylish choice for the stage, studio or home.
