Joe Strummer Tribute Vintage V52 Icon Electric Guitar in Distressed Butterscotch

Joe Strummer was amazing and we miss him!  We love this Vintage V52 ICON Electric Guitar too.  We decided to make this one a tribute to Joe.  This Distressed Butterscotch is a classic and stylish instrument that is perfect for guitar enthusiasts. This electric guitar features a vintage-inspired design with a distressed butterscotch finish, giving it a unique and aged look. It is equipped with high-quality components and delivers a rich and versatile sound. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, the Vintage V52 ICON Electric Guitar is sure to impress with its exceptional playability and timeless appeal.

The V52MRBS is the archetypal workhorse electric guitar, capable of providing a multitude of musical tones from its simple array of pickups and controls. However, in keeping with the Vintage ethos, the ICON Series features some deceptively future-proof design tweaks. Fixed bridges with three saddles are notoriously prone to intonation problems; the inclusion of the Wilkinson WTB bridge remedies this, allowing your leadwork and chordplay to ring true all over the neck. Likewise, a 'soft C' profile allows unparalleled playability up and down the fretboard.

Good things come to those who wait – but who has the time for that? The Vintage ICON Series replicates the beautiful, worn-in look and feel of an instrument that has paid its dues, without investing the lifetime's worth of woodshedding, rehearsing, performing and travel. This is a guitar that already looks like your lifetime companion; the best part is your journey is just beginning. Play on.

A Vintage ICON electric already looks like your lifetime companion; the best part is, your journey is just beginning. Play on.
