Full Description
View Full DescriptionA versatile yet vintage tonality
Bridging the gap between single coils and humbuckers. The VSA500 boasts a pair of MW90 pickups that offer the snap and sparkle of single coils on cleans, and the snarl and roar of humbuckers when overdriven. With crisp, articulate highs and a rich low-end presence, you'll enjoy superb sonic balance for big-band chord progressions or rock 'n' roll solos. Experiment to your heart's content!
Chords or solos - both are at home here!
Play without restrictions. Because on the VSA500, you're treated to a neck and fretboard that have been designed for ultimate comfort. The one-piece mahogany neck is shaped into a 'soft C' profile for a relaxed stance, giving your hand plenty of room for both chords and lead lines.
Married to this is a gloriously smooth rosewood fretboard. It's curved into a 12" radius for a superior feel and positive playability - whether you're string bending up high or running complex chords down low. 22 medium jumbo frets adorn the board, elevating the comfort and accuracy of your playing by providing a low action point.
Quality hardware appointments
The VSA500 is easy to play, bold in its tones, and stunning in its appearance. And it only gets better! Thanks to a series of quality appointments, you're treated to a reliable and consistent performance every time you pick and play… in addition to their alluring aesthetic touches!
At the top end you've got a set of 3-a-side Grover machine heads to provide superb tuning stability, and a simple, effective action. Just below those sits a GraphTech NuBone nut to provide frictionless guide for your strings. It enhances the resonance and vocality of each string by providing a buzz-free performance.
And then at the other end of your strings is a Wilkinson T.O.M bridge with trapeze tailpiece to add even more tuning stability. It also makes adjusting intonation a breeze, keeping your guitar sounding its best for every show, and not only that, but it also adds the elegance of classic semi-hollow models. Last of all, a stylish body and neck binding brings together the aesthetic to leave with you a guitar that looks outstanding and plays like a dream.
