This is the premise of every guitar setup we undertake. If that means rejecting guitars and starting again - that is exactly what we do.

You may also know that due to the nature of the major component of the guitar (wood) that they can feel great one moment and awful the next (say for example after traveling half way around the globe on a boat - from some factory in the far east to the UK!)

This gorgeous twin cutaway guitar looks stunning in this alluring finish with additional aesthetics that include an aged amber-tinted neck, headstock, 22 fret maple fingerboard and a pre-worn 3-ply black scratch plate, offset with cream controls and a trio of Lace Gold Sensor pickups with cream covers.
Designed in the late 1970’s as the world’s first noiseless single coil pickups, the USA Lace Sensors Series are renowned for their unique and classic vintage single coil tones, with a bell-like chime, a full fat low-end response, singing midrange and high-end sparkle.
For an exceptionally low-noise performance played clean, or when used with overdrive or extreme high gain the Lace Sensors with additional screening effortlessly buck the hum without any signal loss or clarity.
Needless to say, with a precision-cut GraphTech nut and aged hardware that includes Wilkinson WJ55 patented E-Z-Lok machine heads, tuning is rock solid, whilst the intonation and sustain from the Wilkinson hard-tail bridge is equally impressive.
It’s the finest details within the incredibly authentic and expertly applied worn concept, that have earned the Vintage ProShop Series guitars respect from players around the world.
