Vintage Guitars V6Mssb Maple Fingerboard Sunset Sunburst

An Icon of 1950s Solid-Body Guitars, Enhanced by Wilkinson Expertise

Inspired by solid-body guitars from the 1950s, the Wilkinson S-Style incorporates the fundamentals that shaped decades of recordings: effective ergonomics, a dynamic trio of single coils, and a vibrato with a "vintage" feel. Here, Wilkinson's approach modernizes the whole with components designed for tuning stability and smooth playability, while preserving the spirit of the original design.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This electric guitar is primarily aimed at beginners and intermediate players who want an inspiring S-Style that is easy to set up and tame daily. More advanced guitarists will also find an excellent versatile foundation for stage, rehearsal, or home studio. It excels in funk, pop, blues, indie rock, and surf, with real ease in clean tones, light crunch, and moderate overdrive.

The Sound

The set of Wilkinson single-coil pickups emphasizes precision: a clear attack, defined highs, and airy mids that let chords breathe. The 5-position selector switch opens a wide spectrum, from the smoother neck pickup to the intermediate positions with the famous "quack" funk tone, up to the sharper bridge pickup for riffs and cutting leads. The combination of alder (balance and projection), maple (snap and quick response), and rosewood (warmth, smoothness in the upper mids) delivers a responsive, expressive, and naturally musical instrument. The WVC vibrato enhances expressiveness, while the chrome hardware and E-Z-Lok tuners contribute to reliable tuning stability.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To play immediately and under good conditions: a set of nickel electric guitar strings in 9-42 or 10-46 gauges (common formats perfectly suited to this type of guitar), a 6.35 mm instrument cable (jack-jack), and a standard guitar strap. These essentials cover most uses (rehearsal, stage, studio) while optimizing comfort and reliability.
