Authentic 60s style aluminium shielding under the scratchplate reduces hum and static noise, while Thomas' 'Bukka' switch provides access to extra tones via a push-push tone control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImbued with the sense of freedom for creative expression that embodied the age by which it was inspired, the V6MRHDX 'Summer of Love' also features a reversed headstock and eye-catching, hand-applied graphics specially created by German artist Daniel Hahn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eV6MRHDX Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmerican alder body provides resonance, tone and 'correct weight' comfort, enhanced with correctly radiused contoured body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVibrato:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Wilkinson WVC vibrato bridge featured on the Vintage V6 is a masterpiece of detail.
