The Vintage V6 Icon: Don't buy a Fender Stratocaster until you have tried out a Vintage V6 Icon. 

Very appreciated that you made this review. Cheers!

These are definitely quality guitars.. I used to sell most of their range...The Wilkinson hardware is mostly ok... One of their best ever guitars is the Les Paul greeny take Lemon Drop.. Especially the ones before they changed to the funky neck heel and the subtle changes to the body curves...

I bought the exact same guitar about three years back. I re-reliced it as the original relicing was poor and fake. It is a little more natural now. I also replaced the pickups with Fender 57/62s, which included a turquoise pick guard. I have nicer guitars, even a Fender Strat, but THIS is my go to. Partially because I don't have to worry about that much, but more importantly because...it just feels so right. Mine is more blue-green than yours. I am glad to see how much you are enjoying it. I am a fan of this one. EDIT: Additionally, regardless of the shuffling this one will stay in my collection for various reasons.

Thank you for talking about the tuners . I'll make sure to do what you do and I'm sure it will not cause any problem . Some people can be unbelievably rude .

I've had 4 of these before and still got 2. One is very good and the one set up by Sam Deeks is excellent. Check out the V6 used. The red one I have (the excellent one) cost me only £130 and it came with a Gator hard case!

Great review! Thx!

For the given price, they are very underrated guitars IMO. I own 8 in their range and would happily compare them to much higher priced brands.

You don’t run the string through the tuning pegs twice! It’s a vintage six bolt bridge not six position, I couldn’t watch past there!

no volume ????

Don't worry about the negative comments these are great guitars I own a V6P with 3 Wilkinson Stacked P90'S it's a heavy monster at 11 pounds American Alder with similar neck the tuning pegs , Vintage V6 has a full size staggered block , low e and a have two holes with the staggered block it gives incredible tuning stability , I tried to get into the Ir interface stuff couldn't get the the drivers to work with Windows 10 I just it run a little BOSS Katana Mini brilliant little amp , just let people know that Trevor Wilkinson who helped design the Vintage V6 work at Fender in the 70's with Leo so I think Trevor understands what a Stratocaster should play and sound like ,

Do you realize that your guitar sounds like it¨s recorded through an amp without a cab!? I mean what the heck is this: 8:55
