The traditional 10" radius fingerboard provides positive feel and superior playability; 22 Medium profile frets add to the comfort, accuracy and overall positive feel of the Vintage V52.Pickups are two Wilkinson Single Coils (WVTN in the neck and a WVOB in the bridge) - enabling traditional tones combined with contemporary power.

Staggered brass saddles offer individual string intonation, never before available in a design of this type. The baseplate itself is a faithful reproduction of the original, made from steel, very important in a bridge of this style due to the tonal effect it has on the magnetic field of the pickup mounted in it..
